Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019221769A1] The invention provides methods for detecting epigenetic changes, including but not limited to methylation changes, directly from biological samples, without the need for certain complex sample preparation steps. The invention provides Cas protein/guide RNA complexes that may be introduced directly into the sample, where the complexes target and bind the target region. The target region is thus enriched and isolated in a sequence- specific manner. The target region may then be subject to any suitable signal amplification assay to detect the epigenetic change in the target region. Detection of DNA hypermethylation in the target region is indicative of disease, such as cancer.
