Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for detecting methylation of the bowel-cancer-specific methylation marker GPM6A (NM_201591, glycoprotein M6A) gene in order to diagnose bowel cancer, and more specifically relates to a method for providing information for diagnosing bowel cancer by detecting the methylation of a bowel-cancer-specific marker gene that is specifically methylated in bowel cancer cells. The method for detecting methylation and a diagnostic composition, kit and nucleic-acid chip according to the present invention can be used to advantage in diagnosing bowel cancer more accurately and quickly than by normal methods as they permit bowel cancer to be diagnosed at the initial genetic transformation step and so allow early diagnosis.
