   Function Description

We developed a DNA tumour marker for TGCTs based on the unmethylated DNA profile of a neoplasm. The 5' end of the XIST gene is mainly hypomethylated in TGCTs irrespective of XIST expression. Male somatic cells, however, show complete methylation through the CpG sites, including the minimum promoter and XIST-conserved repeats. Identification of a XIST unmethylated fragment in male plasma might be diagnostic for TGCTs.
