Genetic and epigenetic landscape of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT): implications for DNA repair and cancer therapeutics
28 Aug 2025
Abstract excerpt
-Methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) acts as a genomic custodian, reversing alkylation damage to preserve DNA integrity. However, when its regulatory balance tips via promoter methylation, polymorphisms, or epigenetic silencing, MGMT can become a liability, fuelling cancer progression, treatment resistance, and poor outcomes across malignancies. This review uncovers the nuanced control of MGMT, revealing...
