Objectives: To assess the medical applicability of CpG methylation as molecular markers for cancer diagnosis, we established a new system to determine DNA methylation based on TaqMan PCR combined with a methyl-binding-domain polypeptide 2.Design and methods: We evaluated the diagnostic applicability of this approach by examining the methylation status of two tumor suppressor genes, RASSFIA and APC, in 10 paired hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and the corresponding non-tumor liver tissues.Results: Methylation levels of total 20 clinical samples measured by the TaqMan PCR assay showed a significantly positive correlation (R=0.814, P
