MGMT promoter methylation level in newly diagnosed low-grade glioma is a predictor of hypermutation at recurrence
11 Mar 2020
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Emerging data suggest that a subset of patients with diffuse isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-mutant low-grade glioma (LGG) who receive adjuvant temozolomide (TMZ) recur with hypermutation in association with malignant progression to higher-grade tumors. It is currently unclear why some TMZ-treated LGG patients recur with hypermutation while others do not. MGMT encodes O6-methylguanine-DNA...
