1. A method of detecting the methylation pattern of a plurality of markers in a human subject suspected of having hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), comprising:
- a) processing a biological sample obtained from the human subject with a deaminating agent to generate treated DNA comprising deaminated nucleotides; and
b) detecting the methylation pattern of cg26668608, cg11606215, cg18196829, cg25459300, cg25574765, cg11397370, and cg11825899, and one or more markers selected from the group consisting of cg10428836, cg25754195, cg05205842, cg24067911, cg24067911, cg23211949, cg17213048, cg23461741, cg06482904, cg07459019, cg20490031, and cg01643250, byi) contacting the treated DNA with a first set and a second set of nucleic acid probes, wherein the first set of nucleic acid probes hybridizes to seven markers and no more than seven markers, wherein the markers are cg26668608, cg11606215, cg18196829, cg25459300, cg25574765, cg11397370, and cg11825899, and wherein the second set of nucleic acid probes hybridizes to at least one but no more than 11 markers selected from the group consisting of cg10428836, cg25754195, cg05205842, cg24067911, cg24067911, cg23211949, cg17213048, cg23461741, cg06482904, cg07459019, cg20490031, and cg01643250, and combinations thereof; and
ii) performing a DNA sequencing analysis to determine the methylation pattern of the plurality of markers.
