Pyrosequencing Analysis of O-6-Methylguanine-DNA Methyltransferase Methylation at Different Cut-Offs of Positivity Associated with Treatment Response and Disease-Specific Survival in Isocitrate Dehydrogenase-Wildtype Grade 4 Glioblastoma

Abstract excerpt

The O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) gene is a critical guardian of genomic integrity. MGMT methylation in diffuse gliomas serves as an important determinant of patients’ prognostic outcomes, more specifically in glioblastomas (GBMs). In GBMs, the absence of MGMT methylation, known as MGMT promoter unmethylation, often translates into a more challenging clinical scenario, tending to present...
