Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for detecting the mutation and methylation of tumor-specific genes in ctDNA, and this method can simultaneously detect the mutation (including point mutation, insertion-deletion mutation, HBV integration and other mutation forms) and/or methylation of tumor-specific genes in ctDNA in one sample. Not only the sample size requirement is low, but the MC library prepared by this method can support 10-20 subsequent detections. The results of each test can represent the mutation status of all the original ctDNA specimens and the methylation modification status of the region covered by the restriction sites, without reducing the sensitivity and specificity. The present invention has important clinical significance for early tumor screening, disease tracking, efficacy evaluation, prognosis prediction and the like, and has great application value.
