Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	In one aspect, the invention provides a method of detecting cerebral palsy in a subject. The method includes: determining a methylation state for each of a plurality of cytosine-guanine dinucleotide (CpG) sites in a sample obtained from the subject, calculating a differential methylation level based on the methylation states of the plurality of CpG sites, and comparing the differential methylation level to a predetermined reference level. When the differential methylation level deviates from the predetermined reference level, the presence of cerebral palsy is indicated in the patient.
