The hypermethylation in the promoter region of the SEPT9 gene is associated with the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). Although its clinical significance for early diagnosis and screening of CRC has been demonstrated, the tedious operations in the conventional DNA methylation (DNAm) detection hinder its wide application. Herein, an electronic method for determining SEPT9 methylation in CRC patients is proposed by using the carbon dot-modified liquid exfoliated graphene field effect transistor (CDs-LEG-FET) as the DNAm sensor, the specifically designed probes to capture the SEPT9 gene and the immunologic recognition to recognize 5-methylcytosine (5mC) positions on the anchored sequences. The identification and nanomorphology of the as-prepared materials and devices are executed first by the characterizations of UV-vis, Raman, atomic force microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electronic measurements. Then, the role of CDs in enhancing DNAm sensitivity of CD-LEG-FET is manifested by comparing it with that of CD-free LEG-FET. Third, the captured SEPT9 genes on CD-LEG-FETs by different probes are evaluated, and the optimized temperature for hybridizing the target ssDNA sequences is determined to be 48 °C. Furthermore, the detection sensitivity for the low-quantity of DNA samples is demonstrated to be as low as 2 ng. Finally, the methylation degree of the tumor and corresponding noncancerous tissue DNA samples were examined by the proposed electric method and methylight assay in parallel. The diagnostic value of the electrical assay is confirmed by using the receiver operating characteristic curves; meanwhile, the superiority of the CD-LEG-FET platform is found to present a methylation panorama of the target gene.
