Method to use viral and host methylation markers for cervical cancer screening and triage in liquid prep, serum/plasma, and urine: PCR and sequencing based process methods
Methods and kits for triaging a human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive woman into colposcopy are disclosed. The methods comprise determining the promoter methylation level of the promoter regions of a group of genes (e.g., viral and host genes) that exhibit increased promoter methylation in women having CIN2+ lesions as compared to women having no intraepithelial lesions or malignancy (NILM).
