“DESCRIPTION
MGMT (O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase) is a DNA repair enzyme. MGMT protects cells from alkylating toxins, and is an important factor in drug resistance to alkylating therapeutic agents. It is expressed in normal human tissues and is overexpressed in many types of tumors, but epigenetically silenced in other tumors. MGMT silencing is a marker associated with poor prognosis, but is a good predictive marker for response to alkylating agent chemotherapy. MGMT overexpression is associated with BCNU (carmustine) resistance in malignant gliomas.
