This study systematically identified a methylation gene panel for colorectal cancer diagnosis using both tissue and fecal samples. Methods 181 fecal and 50 tumor tissue samples from 83 patients and 98 healthy subjects were analyzed by quantitative bisulfite next-generation sequencing, with site screening and model construction/validation using separate datasets. Results Tissue cancer samples showed markedly higher methylation than fecal controls, and a 29-locus panel enabled strong logistic regression performance with high sensitivity and specificity.

DNA methylation sites may serve as a new gene signature for colorectal cancer diagnosis. The search for representative DNA methylation sites is urgently needed. This study aimed to systematically identify a methylation gene panel for colorectal cancer diagnosis via tissue and fecal samples.  \nMethods A total of 181 fecal and 50 tumor tissue samples were collected. They were obtained from 83 colorectal cancer patients and 98 healthy subjects. These samples were evaluated for DNA methylation of 9 target genes via quantitative bisulfite next-generation sequencing. We employed the rank-sum test to screen the colorectal cancerspecific methylation sites in the tissue and fecal cohorts. A data model was subsequently constructed and validated via the dedicated validation dataset.  \nResults Compared with the fecal and negative control samples, the colorectal cancer tissue samples presented significantly higher methylation rates for all the selected gene sites. The methylation rates of the tissue and preoperative fecal samples showed the same high and low rates at the same sites. After screening, a panel of 29 loci in the SDC2, SEPT9, and VIM genes proved to be reliable biomarkers for colorectal cancer diagnosis in fecal samples. Logistic regression models were then constructed and validated using this panel. The sensitivity of the model was 91.43%(95% CI = [89 . 69, 93 . 17]), the specificity was 100%(95% CI = [100,100]), and the AUC value is 99 . 31%(95% CI = [99,99 . 62]) . The diagnostic accuracy of the model for stage I and stage II colorectal cancer was 100%(11/11) and 91 . 3%(21/23), respectively. Overall, this study confirms that the gene locus panel and the model can be used to diagnose colorectal cancer effectively through feces.  \nConclusions Our study identified a set of key methylation sites for colorectal cancer diagnosis from fecal samples, highlighting the importance of using tissue and fecal samples to accurately assess DNA methylation levels to screen for methylation sites, and developing an effective diagnostic model for colorectal cancer.  \nKeywords Colorectal cancer, Targeted sequencing, DNA methylation analysis, Logistic regression  \n†Yue Liu and Hongbo Ming contributed equally to this work and should be considered co-first authors.  \n*Correspondence:  \nCundi Zhong [zhongcundi@dmu.edu.cn](zhongcundi@dmu.edu.cn)[ ](zhongcundi@dmu.edu.cn)Hongzhi Li[lihzh@gentalker.com](lihzh@gentalker.com)  \nFull list of author information is available at the end of the article  \n© The Author(s) 2024.
