To explore the role of detecting the methylation status of gene Septin9 (SEPT9) in plasma for colorectal cancer screening in Chinese population.
Patients were collected from Beijing Military General Hospital since September 2013 to February 2014. The performance of SEPT9 assay was validated in a single-blind study of 80 cases with colonoscopy and pathologically verified colorectal cancer and 52 normal controls. The detection of Septin9 gene methylation in peripheral blood was performed by fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). And immunoassay fecal occult blood test was conducted to compare the superiority of methylated Septin9 for screening colorectal cancer.
The Septin9 assay successfully identified 75.0% (95%CI:64.7%-83.6%) of cancers at a specificity of 98.1% (95%CI:90.9%-99.9%). And it was superior to fecal occult blood screening for colorectal cancer (sensitivity 79.5% vs 53.8%, P < 0.05).
Determination of SEPT9 methylation status is an innovative non-invasive plasma screening test for colorectal cancer.
探讨检测血浆中Septin9(SEPT9)基因甲基化状态在中国人群结直肠癌筛查中的作用。
收集2013年9月至2014年2月在北京军区总医院就诊的患者。在一项单盲研究中,对80例经结肠镜检查及病理证实的结直肠癌患者和52例正常对照进行SEPT9检测性能验证。采用荧光定量聚合酶链反应(PCR)检测外周血中Septin9基因甲基化。并进行免疫法粪便潜血试验,以比较甲基化Septin9在结直肠癌筛查中的优势。
SEPT9检测成功识别出75.0%(95%CI:64.7%-83.6%)的癌症,特异性为98.1%(95%CI:90.9%-99.9%)。并且它在结直肠癌筛查方面优于粪便潜血筛查(敏感性79.5%对53.8%,P<0.05)。
检测SEPT9甲基化状态是一种用于结直肠癌筛查的创新性非侵入性血浆检测方法。
