  • Thus, the frequent hypermethylation in the MGMT, BRCA1 , and RASSF1A , and HIC1 define the methylation profile in NSGCT.

  • The overall higher frequency of promoter methylation seen in NSGCTs is noticeably evident in DNA repair genes RASSF1A, BRCA1 , and MGMT , and the hypermethylated in cancer 1 ( HIC1 ) gene, which encodes a transcription factor.

  • However, methylation of 3 genes did suggest a doubling ( RASSF1A and MGMT ) or tripling ( BRCA1 ) of risk compared to those who did not have these genes methylated.

  • Epigenetic gene silencing of the MGMT confers enhanced sensitivity to alkylating agents in cancer [ 24 25 ] . Lack of methylation, on the other hand, associates with high-risk of death [ 25 26 ] . It has been suggested that the high-levels of MGMT proteins contribute to a drug-resistant phenotype [ 27 ] . More than 90% of newly diagnosed GCTs and 70-80% of patients who present metastatic disease are cured with cisplatin-based chemotherapy [ 28 ] . However, 20-30% of the patients with metastatic disease exhibit resistance to the cisplatin curative regimen leading to high mortality in this group.
