O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is a gene encoding for O6-alkylguanine DNA alkyltransferase which is required for genomic stability. Because the product can antagonize the efficiacy of alkylating substances, the methylation state of the MGMT gene determines whether tumor cells in glioblastoma would be responsive to therapy with temozolomide. A methylated (ie silenced) MGMT promotor is therefore a predictive and prognostic biomarker.[1]

MGMT testing in neuropathology is usually performed by semi-quantitative methylation-specific PCR, pyrosequencing, methylation-specific multiplexed ligation probe amplification (MS-MLPA)or methylation profiling arrays. MGMT immunohistochemistry is not recommended.[2][3]
