Outcome-based determination of optimal pyrosequencing assay for MGMT methylation detection in glioblastoma patients
13 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
The methylation of O(6)-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) gene promoter is a key biological marker in clinical neuro-oncology. Nevertheless, there is no consensus concerning the best technique for its assessment. In a recent study comparing five methods to analyze MGMT status, we found that the best prediction of survival was obtained with a pyrosequencing (PSQ) test assessing methylation of 5 CpGs (CpGs...
