Abstract

The article deals with the problem of diagnosis of oncological diseases based on the analysis of DNA methylation data using algorithms of cluster analysis and supervised learning. The groups of genes are identified, methylation patterns of which significantly change when cancer appears. High accuracy is achieved in classification of patients impacted by different cancer types and in identification if the cell taken from a certain tissue is aberrant or normal. With method of cluster analysis two cancer types are highlighted for which the hypothesis was confirmed stating that among the people affected by certain cancer types there are groups with principally different methylation pattern.
