Abstract: This invention provides methods and arrays for determination of the methylation patterns at single-nucleotide resolution by array-based hybrid selection and next-generation sequencing of bisulfite-treated DNA.

Abstract: Method for the analysis of breast cancer disorders, comprising determining the genomic methylation status of one or more CpG dinucleotides in a sequence selected from the group of sequences according to SEQ ID NO. 1 to 10 and/or SEQ ID NO. 50 to SEQ ID NO. 60. Optionally, additionally following steps are performed, the one or more results from the methylation status test is input into a classifier that is obtained from a Diagnostic Multi Variate Model, calculating a likelihood as to whether the sample is from a normal tissue or an breast cancer tissue and/or, calculating an associated p-value for the confidence in the prediction.
