MGMT promoter methylation is associated with patient age and 1p/19q status in IDH-mutant gliomas
10 Feb 2021
Abstract excerpt
Methylation of the promoter region of the gene encoding O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) predicts better response to the alkylating chemotherapeutic temozolomide (TMZ) in glioblastomas (GBM).1 Testing for MGMT promoter methylation is therefore required for World Health Organization (WHO) grade 4 GBMs, whereas in grade 2-3 gliomas, testing is more variable between institutions. Mutations in isocitrate...
