Title:
EPIGENETIC METHODS AND NUCLEIC ACIDS FOR THE DETECTION OF LUNG CELL PROLIFERATIVE DISORDERS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006034879
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention provides methods, nucleic acids and kits for detecting, classifying and/or distinguishing between or among lung cell proliferative disorders. The invention discloses genomic sequences the methylation patterns of which have utility for the improved detection of and differentiation between said class of disorders, thereby enabling the improved diagnosis and treatment of patients.
