  • Diagnosis kits and method for detecting cancer using polymorphic minisatellite
    Patent number: 7981613
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a kit and a method for diagnosing cancer using polymorphic minisatellites (MS), more specifically, relates to a primer set for detecting polymorphic minisatellites MUC2-MS6 or MUC2-MS7 in the MUC2 gene, a DNA typing kit comprising said primer set, and a kit and a method for diagnosing cancer using a primer set for detecting polymorphic minisatellites MUC2-MS6, MUC2-MS7 or hTERT-VNTR 2-2. According to the present invention, DNA typing of MUC2-MS6 and MUC2-MS7 can effectively achieve the parentage identification, kinship identification or medicolegal examination, because the polymorphic minisatellites MUC2-MS6 and MUC2-MS7 are inherited through meiosis according to Mendelian genetics. In addition, the polymorphic minisatellites MUC2-MS6, MUC2-MS7 and hTERT-VNTR 2-2 can be used to predict and diagnose various cancers; such as gastric cancer, colon cancer, rectal cancer and prostate cancer etc.
