dc.description.abstractOvarian cancer (OC) is a leading cause of gynecologic cancer-related mortality and is frequently diagnosed at advanced stages due to the absence of effective early detection tools. Epigenetic alterations, particularly DNA methylation, play a critical role in tumorigenesis and represent promising non-invasive biomarkers. This study investigated the methylation status of the ANKRD23 gene in OC and evaluated its diagnostic potential using peripheral blood samples. A total of 385 serous OC patients, 50 individuals with benign ovarian conditions, and 99 healthy controls were included. DNA methylation was assessed using methylation-sensitive restriction enzymes followed by real-time PCR. ANKRD23 methylation was significantly associated with clinical stage (p = 0.029), histological grade (p = 0.009), and ethnicity (p = 0.024). Moreover, methylation levels differed significantly among OC patients, benign cases, and healthy controls (p = 0.026). These findings support blood-based ANKRD23 methylation as a promising biomarker for non-invasive ovarian cancer diagnosis and risk stratification. (Afr J Reprod Health 2026; 30 [15] 16-25).
dc.description.abstractLe cancer de l’ovaire (CO) est l’une des principales causes de mortalité liée aux cancers gynécologiques et est souvent diagnostiqué à des stades avancés en raison de l’absence d’outils efficaces de détection précoce. Les altérations épigénétiques, en particulier la méthylation de l’ADN, jouent un rôle clé dans la tumorigénèse et représentent des biomarqueurs non invasifs prometteurs. Cette étude a évalué le statut de méthylation du gène ANKRD23 dans le cancer de l’ovaire et son potentiel diagnostique à partir d’échantillons de sang périphérique. Au total, 385 patientes atteintes d’un cancer séreux de l’ovaire, 50 individus présentant des pathologies ovariennes bénignes et 99 témoins sains ont été inclus. La méthylation de l’ADN a été analysée à l’aide d’enzymes de restriction sensibles à la méthylation, suivie d’une PCR en temps réel. La méthylation d’ANKRD23 était significativement associée au stade clinique (p = 0,029), au grade histologique (p = 0,009) et à l’origine ethnique (p = 0,024). De plus, les niveaux de méthylation différaient significativement entre les patientes atteintes de cancer de l’ovaire, les cas bénins et les témoins sains (p = 0,026). Ces résultats suggèrent que la méthylation d’ANKRD23 détectée dans le sang constitue un biomarqueur prometteur pour le diagnostic non invasif et la stratification du risque du cancer de l’ovaire.
