Evidence
The HCCBloodTest is an in-vitro polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for the qualitative detection of Septin 9 gene methylation (SEPT9) in DNA isolated from 3.5 mL of patient plasma. The SEPT9 gene is a key regulator of cell division and tumor suppressor and the hypermethylation of the assessed marker site is associated with liver carcinogenesis.
