MGMT genomic rearrangements contribute to chemotherapy resistance in gliomas

Chemotherapy resistance in recurrent gliomas is a large hurdle for successful therapy. Here, the authors show that some recurrent gliomas harbour O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) genomic rearrangements, and in vitro and in vivo these contribute to temozolomide resistance.
