MGMT Methylation Panel
Introduction to the MGMT Methylation Panel
The MGMT Methylation Panel is a groundbreaking diagnostic test designed to evaluate the methylation status of the MGMT gene, which plays a critical role in DNA repair mechanisms. Methylation is a biochemical process that can influence gene expression and is increasingly recognized for its significance in cancer biology. Understanding the methylation patterns of the MGMT gene can provide valuable insights into an individual’s susceptibility to certain types of cancer, particularly glioblastoma and other malignancies.
What the Test Measures
This test measures the methylation status of the MGMT gene, which is essential for assessing the risk of developing specific cancers. The Methylation Panel from DNA Labs integrates both phenotypic and genotypic data, simplifying complex biochemistry into easily understandable graphics. It covers methylation and transsulfuration markers, alongside numerous genetic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), offering a comprehensive evaluation of methylation status.
Who Should Consider This Test?
The MGMT Methylation Panel is recommended for individuals who:
- Have a family history of cancer, particularly brain tumors.
- Are experiencing symptoms related to potential malignancies.
- Are undergoing treatment for cancer and wish to understand their genetic predisposition.
Benefits of Taking the Test
Taking the MGMT Methylation Panel offers several benefits:
- Informs patients about their risk of developing certain cancers.
- Guides treatment decisions based on genetic predisposition.
- Provides a clearer understanding of individual health risks.
- Empowers patients to make informed decisions regarding their health and lifestyle.
Understanding Your Results
The results of the MGMT Methylation Panel will be presented in a user-friendly format. A graphic summary, called Interpretation-at-a-Glance (IAAG), will provide a quick evaluation of your methylation status. Additionally, a detailed methylation pathway graphic will be included to help you comprehend the underlying biochemistry associated with your results.
