Core Tip	The methylated SEPT9 gene has been implicated as a biomarker for colorectal cancer associated with the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer (CRC). In this article, we reviewed the literature on the correlation of SEPT9 gene and colorectal cancer and the theoretical basis of the SEPT9 gene methylation assay. Then, we focused on the diagnostic performance of the SEPT9 gene methylation assay for CRC by analyzing the clinical trial studies and compared that assay with other methods. Finally, we discussed the limitations of the SEPT9 gene methylation assay in clinical application. We hope that this article can provide a comprehensive overview of the progress achieved in the SEPT9 methylation assay for both the basic and clinical sciences.
