Figure 2 Diagram of the basic choices for methylation detection methods to study gene methylation in colorectal cancer. In this diagram, we show the currently available methods and their different requirements for colorectal cancer assays. Researchers typically use two or more methods to investigate gene methylation. CRC: Colorectal cancer; MS-MLPA: Methylation-specific multiple ligation-dependent probe amplification; MS-HRM: Methylation-specific high resolution melting curve analysis; MSP: Methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction; MT-sDNA: Multitarget stool DNA test; QuARTS: Quantitative allele-specific real-time target and signal amplification assays.
