Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of MGMT gene methylation detection, in particular to a kit and method for quantitatively detecting the methylation degree of human MGMT gene. Background technique
[0002] The MGMT gene encodes an O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase. In normal cells, MGMT can remove the methyl group at the O6 position of abnormally methylated guanine, so that DNA damage caused by guanine methylation can be repaired. The loss of MGMT expression and DNA repair disorder caused by methylation of CpG island of MGMT gene promoter are closely related to the occurrence and development of various tumors. Studies have shown that more than 50% of gliomas can have MGMT gene promoter CpG island methylation, and patients with this type of glioma are sensitive to temozolomide chemotherapy, and temozolomide chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy can significantly prolong the survival of patients. Therefore, MGMT gene promoter CpG isla...
