Abstract excerpt
Promoter methylation of the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) repair gene, O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), is associated with improved outcome of patients with glioblastoma multiforme and anaplastic astrocytoma treated with temozolomide (TMZ). Molecular genetic analysis of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of 1p, 19q, or 10q, p53 mutation, and MGMT promoter methylation was performed in 44 assessable tumor...
