Alkylation-induced colon tumorigenesis in mice deficient in the Mgmt and Msh6 proteins
O[superscript 6]-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) suppresses mutations and cell death that result from alkylation damage. MGMT expression is lost by epigenetic silencing in a variety of human cancers including nearly half of sporadic colorectal cancers, suggesting that this loss maybe caus...
