Zusammenfassung:The present invention is related to a method of identifying oxidative stress (OS) in a test cell, the method comprising: (a) determining the methylation status of at least five genes in a DNA sample obtained from the test cell; (b) comparing the methylation status of the genes from step (a) to the methylation status of the corresponding genes in a control without OS, wherein a difference in the methylation status of the genes in the test cell compared to the corresponding genes in the control is indicative of the cell having OS; and wherein the genes in step (a) are selected from the group consisting of
