Abstract:
The present invention provides methods and materials related to the detection of colorectal neoplasia (CRN) associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The present invention provides markers specific for colorectal neoplasia associated with inflammatory bowel disease in or associated with a subject's stool sample. In particular, the present invention provides methods and materials for identifying mammals (e.g., humans) having colorectal neoplasia associated with inflammatory bowel disease by detecting the presence and level of indicators of colorectal neoplasia such as, for example, epigenetic alterations (e.g., DNA methylation) (e.g., CpG methylation) (e.g., CpG methylation in coding or regulatory regions of BMP3, NDRG4, vimentin, EYA4) in DNA from a stool sample obtained from the mammal.
Abstract:
Provided herein is technology relating to detecting neoplasia and particularly, but not exclusively, to methods, compositions, and related uses for detecting premalignant and malignant neoplasms such as pancreatic and colorectal cancer.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to detecting one or more types of gynecological cancer in a biological sample from a subject. In particular, the present disclosure provides compositions and methods for detecting the presence or absence of one or more types of gynecological cancer (e.g., cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer) in a biological sample from a subject having or suspected of having a gynecological cancer.
Abstract:
This document relates to methods and materials for detecting premalignant and malignant neoplasms. For example, methods and materials for determining whether or not a stool sample from a mammal contains nucleic acid markers or polypeptide markers of a neoplasm are provided.
Abstract:
Provided herein is technology for colorectal neoplasia screening and particularly, but not exclusively, to methods, compositions, and related uses for detecting the presence of colorectal neoplasia in 1) individuals at, older or younger than 50 years of age, or 2) individuals having Lynch Syndrome.
Abstract:
Provided herein is technology relating to detecting neoplasia and particularly, but not exclusively, to methods, compositions, and related uses for detecting neoplasms such as lung cancer.
Abstract:
Provided herein is technology for gastrointestinal neoplasia screening and particularly, but not exclusively, to methods, compositions, and related uses for detecting the presence of gastrointestinal neoplasm, and classifying the site location of such a gastrointestinal neoplasm (e.g., a colorectal region, a pancreaticobiliary region, a gastroesophageal region).
Abstract:
Provided herein is technology for pancreatic high-grade dysplasia screening and particularly, but not exclusively, to methods, compositions, and related uses for detecting the presence of pancreatic high-grade dysplasia (IPMN-HGD, PanIN-3, or PDAC).

Provided herein is technology for pancreatic high-grade dysplasia screening and particularly, but not exclusively, to methods, compositions, and related uses for detecting the presence of pancreatic high-grade dysplasia (IPMN-HGD, PanIN-3, or PDAC).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods and compositions for determination of and uses of specific methylation patterns indicative of adenoma and carcinoma. In particular, the invention relates to analysis of defined CpG loci that are coordinately methylated in DNAs from cancer and adenoma samples, methods for identifying coordinately methylated loci, and methods of using analysis of coordinately methylated loci in one or more marker regions in the design of assays for adenoma and cancer.
