1-4. (canceled)
A method for detecting a tumor, wherein said method comprises:
- detecting a modification on the CpG site(s) of a polynucleotide by a tumor detection agent or kit, if the hypermethylation of a subject is detected, the subject can be identified as having a high-risk of tumor:
- wherein said polynucleotide comprises:
- (a) a polynucleotide with a nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:
- 1;
- (b) a polynucleotide with a nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:
- 2;
- (c) a fragment of the polynucleotide of (a) or (b), having at least one CpG site with modification;
- or (d) a nucleic acid complementary to the polynucleotide or fragment of any of (a)-(c).
A method of preparing a tumor detection agent, comprising:
- providing a polynucleotide and designing a detection agent for specifically detecting the modification on CpG(s) of the target sequence which is the full length or fragment of the polynucleotide;
- wherein said polynucleotide comprises:
- (a) a polynucleotide with a nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:
- 1:
- (b) a polynucleotide with a nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:
- 2:
- (c) a fragment of the polynucleotide of (a) or (b), having at least one CpG site with modification;
- or (d) a nucleic acid complementary to the polynucleotide or fragment of any of (a)-(c).

- (a) a polynucleotide with a nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:
- 1:
- (b) a polynucleotide with a nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:
- 2:
- (c) a fragment of the polynucleotide of (a) or (b), having at least one CpG site with modification:
- or (d) a nucleic acid complementary to the polynucleotide or fragment of any of (a)-(c).
An isolated polynucleotide, wherein the isolated polynucleotide comprises:
- (a) a polynucleotide with a nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or SEQ ID NO:
- 2 or a fragment thereof, having at least one CpG site with modification;
- said modification comprises 5-methylation, 5-hydroxymethylation, 5-formylcytosine or 5-carboxylcytosine;
- and/or
- (b) a nucleic acid complementary to the polynucleotide or fragment of (a).
An isolated polynucleotide, wherein, the polynucleotide is converted from an original polynucleotide, said original polynucleotide comprises:
- (a) a polynucleotide with a nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:
- 1;
- (b) a polynucleotide with a nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:
- 2;
- (c) a fragment of the polynucleotide of (a) or (b), having at least one CpG site with modification;
- or (d) a nucleic acid complementary to the polynucleotide or fragment of any of (a)-(c);
- and as compared with the sequence of the original polynucleotide, cytosine C of the CpG site(s) with modification is unchanged, and the unmodified cytosine is converted into T or U in the converted polynucleotide.
