or hypomethylation) and its impact on gene expression have been implicated in many disease processes, including cancer1.

T o enable cost-effective DNA methylation analysis for a variety of applica-tions, Illumina offers a robust methylation profiling platform consisting of proven chemistries and the iScan and HiScan?SQ systems. The Human-Methylation450 BeadChip (Figure 1) offers a unique combination of comprehensive, expert-selected coverage and high throughput at a low price, making it ideal for screening large sample populations such as those used in genome-wide association study (GWAS) cohorts. By providing quantitative methylation measurement at the single-CpG–site level for normal and formalin-fixed parafin-embedded (FFPE) samples, this assay offers powerful resolution for understanding epigenetic changes.

Comprehensive Genome-Wide Coverage

The Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip provides unparalleled, genome-wide coverage featuring comprehensive gene region and CpG island coverage, plus additional high-value content selected with the guidance of methylation experts. Infinium HD technology enables content selection independent of bias-associated limitations often associated with methylated DNA capture methods. As a result, 99% of RefSeq genes are covered, including those in regions of low CpG island density and at risk for being missed by commonly used capture methods. Importantly, coverage was targeted across gene regions with sites in the promoter region, 5'UTR, first exon, gene body, and 3'UTR in order to provide the broadest, most comprehensive view of methylation state possible (Figure 2). This multiple-site approach was extended

to CpG islands/CpG island regions for which 96% of islands were covered overall, with multiple sites within islands and island shores, as well as those regions flanking island shores (island shelves). Beyond gene and CpG island regions, multiple additional content categories requested by methylation experts were also included:

? CpG sites outside of CpG islands

? Non-CpG methylated sites identified in human stem cells

? Differentially methylated sites identified in tumor versus normal (multiple forms of cancer) and across several tissue types

? FANTOM 4 promoters

? DNase hypersensitive sites

? miRNA promoter regions

Streamlined Workflow

The HumanMethylation450 BeadChip follows a user-friendly, streamlined workflow that does not require PCR. Its low sample input requirement (as low as 500 ng), enables analysis of valuable samples
