Extent and Patterns of <i>MGMT</i> Promoter Methylation in Glioblastoma- and Respective Glioblastoma-Derived Spheres
19 Nov 2010
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Quantitative methylation-specific tests suggest that not all cells in a glioblastoma with detectable promoter methylation of the O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) gene carry a methylated MGMT allele. This observation may indicate cell subpopulations with distinct MGMT status, raising the question of the clinically relevant cutoff of MGMT methylation therapy. Epigenetic silencing of the MGMT...
