Problems solved by technology

When tumors occur, the degree of methylation of CpG sites in non-CpG island regions of tumor suppressor genes usually decreases, while CpG in CpG islands is highly methylated, resulting in changes in chromatin structure and decreased expression of tumor suppressor genes.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for identifying the property of a thyroid nodule. The method comprises the step of detecting the DNA methylation levels of regions selected from the following (1) and (2) in a sample: (1) fragments of one or more genes selected from the following: NEURL1, RUSC1, IL17C, TSHR, DAPK, PAX5, IRX4 and CDH1, and (2) nucleic acid regions within the upstream and downstream 10Kb of the genes described in (1).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of molecular auxiliary diagnosis, and specifically relates to the application in the screening of benign and malignant thyroid nodules. Background technique [0002] DNA methylation is a mechanism of epigenetics, a common epigenetic modification of eukaryotic cell genomes, and an important natural chemical modification of vertebrate DNA without changing the DNA sequence. , development and other aspects play an important role and are closely related to the occurrence and development of tumors. DNA methylation plays an important role in the body, and its effects include transcriptional repression, chromatin structure regulation, X chromosome inactivation, genome imprinting, etc. Abnormal DNA methylation can affect chromatin structure and the expression of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes involved in tumorigenesis and progression. [0003] CpG dinucleotides are the most important target of DNA methylation in mammal...
