Abstract
The invention relates to method for detecting HPV-induced high-grade precancerous lesions and HPV-induced invasive cancers, said method comprising detection of hypermethylation in the PRDM14 and/or FAM19A4 gene in a cell whereby such hypermethylation indicates the presence of HPV-induced precursor lesions with invasive potential and HPV-induced invasive cancers. The invention further comprises the use of the PRDM14 and/or FAM19A4 gene in such a method and a testkit for the detection of PRDM14 and/or FAM19A4 methylation.
