Repair of cytotoxic DNA damage by O 6 -methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is a potentially important factor of chemoresistance to chloroethylnitrosoureas (CE-NUs), commonly used in the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). The value of p53 as a prognostic factor in GBMs remains unclear

## Abstract O^6^‐methylguanine‐DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is a repair protein that specifically removes promutagenic alkyl groups from the O^6^ position of guanine in DNA. __MGMT__ is transcriptionally silenced by promoter hypermethylation in several human cancers. Methylation‐specific PCR (MSP)

## Abstract The DNA repair enzyme O^6^‐methylguanine‐DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) removes alkylating adducts from the O^6^ position of guanine and protects cells from cytotoxic and mutagenic effects. Expression of __MGMT__ is decreased in some cancers, which may be the result of methylation of CpG

The O 6 -methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) inactivator O 6benzylguanine (O 6 -beG) is currently under clinical investigation as a potential tumour-sensitising agent. In clinical trials its use has been associated with increased myelotoxicity and a reduced maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for BC
