Abstract
In the present invention, the methylation of the genomic DNA a Zar1 gene specifically found in proliferative disease is used as a marker. Specifically, the present invention provides a method for detecting proliferative disease, which comprises detecting the methylation of the genomic DNA of a Zar1 gene in a biological sample. There is thereby provided a method for detecting proliferative disease, using a marker having a high detection rate and a low false positive rate.
