Since 2017, a self-sampling device has been introduced to the Dutch population-based screening program to enable higher participation rates. However, routine triage cytology cannot be performed on self-sampling material. Methylation is an alternative triage method that can be performed directly on DNA extracted from self-samples. Recently, we tested a set of 15 published cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 or worse (CIN3+)-specific methylation markers and found a panel of 3 markers with a sensitivity of 82% and a specificity of 74%. In this study, we determined the sensitivity and specificity of 2 commercial assays using quantitative methylation-specific PCR. DNA from the same cohort of high-risk human papillomavirus-positive self-sampled material obtained through the population-based screening program in the North of the Netherlands from women with CIN2 or less (
