MGMT promoter methylation in gliomas-assessment by pyrosequencing and quantitative methylation-specific PCR
6 Mar 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Methylation of the O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) gene promoter is a favorable prognostic factor in glioblastoma patients. However, reported methylation frequencies vary significantly partly due to lack of consensus in the choice of analytical method. METHOD: We examined 35 low- and 99 high-grade gliomas using quantitative methylation specific PCR (qMSP) and pyrosequencing. Gene...
