Esteller et al. (1999) published that aberrant hypermethylation of the TSG p16, the putative metastasis suppressor gene death-associated protein kinase (DAPK), GSTP1, and the DNA repair gene O6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) is observed in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumors but not in any paired normal lung tissue. The gene discussed is MGMT; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
