Identification of Novel High Quality Methylated DNA Markers in Renal Tumors: Whole Methylome Discovery, Tissue Validation, and Feasibility Testing in Blood and Urine
Identification of Novel High Quality Methylated DNA Markers in Renal Tumors: Whole Methylome Discovery, Tissue Validation, and Feasibility Testing in Blood and Urine
This study is being done to collect blood, tissue and urine samples to identify a novel high quality methylated DNA marker in patients with renal tumors.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. In tissue, to discover and validate DNA methylation markers (MDMs) for detection of malignant renal and urothelial tumors.
II. In blood, to assess the accuracy of candidate MDMs from above for detection of malignant renal and urothelial tumors.
OUTLINE: This is an observational study.
Participants may undergo blood, urine, and tissue sample collection on study. Participants' medical records are also reviewed.
