Claim:
1. An isolated polynucleotide comprising a bisulfite-converted nucleic acid; wherein the polynucleotide is 20-3000 nucleotides in length; wherein the polynucleotide comprises a region having: a) a nucleotide sequence comprising the bisulfite-converted methylated nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 41, SEQ ID NO: 42, or SEQ ID NO: 44, a complement thereof, or a fragment thereof; wherein said nucleotide sequence, said complement or said fragment is at least 20 nucleotides in length; or b) a nucleotide sequence that is at least 95% identical to the bisulfite-converted methylated nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 41, SEQ ID NO: 42, or SEQ ID NO: 44, a complement thereof, or a fragment thereof; wherein said nucleotide sequence, said complement or said fragment is at least 20 nucleotides in length; and wherein said nucleic acid, prior to bisulfite conversion, comprises at least one methylated cytosine and at least one unmethylated cytosine.
