🔬 Why should a clinician or patient choose the MGMT Methylation Panel?
Oncology — Chemotherapy response
MGMT promoter methylation status predicts response to temozolomide in glioblastoma. Methylated = favourable prognosis, unmethylated = alternative regimens needed.
Wellness & Metabolic Health
Understand your biochemical methylation pathway — crucial for detoxification, DNA repair, homocysteine regulation, and neurotransmitter balance.

💰 How does the 2026 DNA Labs India price compare to hospital rates?
Hospital/third-party lab rates for MGMT methylation (MLPA) range ₹22,000 – ₹35,000. DNA Labs India offers ₹15,000 all-inclusive (ISO certified, same methodology, free genetic counselling). No hidden charges, report within 15–20 days.
🧬 What is the significance of “methylated” vs “unmethylated” results?
Methylated promoter → silenced MGMT gene → better response to alkylating chemotherapies (temozolomide). Unmethylated → active MGMT → DNA repair reduces chemo efficacy; alternative targeted therapies may be considered. Our counselling team explains these nuances.
⏱️ Why TAT of 15–20 days for methylation assay?
The MLPA (methylation-specific multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification) plus bisulfite conversion requires strict quality controls, duplicate runs, and validation by senior molecular pathologists. We prioritize accuracy over speed.
Genes Covered in the Test
The DNA Methylation Test from DNA Labs India examines a curated panel of genes critical to methylation and related metabolic pathways. Based on the sample report, here’s a breakdown of the genes included, along with their potential impacts:
| Gene | SNP | Potential Impact | Key Health Implications |
|---|---|---|---|
| BHMT | G742A | Upregulation | May lower homocysteine but could deplete choline, affecting neurotransmitter synthesis and increasing risks for congenital abnormalities. |
| CBS | C699T | Upregulation | Generally protective against elevated homocysteine, with reduced risks for lymphoma and venous diseases, though effects vary by population. |
| GNMT | C1289T | Upregulation | Increases SAM disposal, potentially elevating homocysteine and associating with prostate cancer risks. |
| MAT1A | D18777A | Downregulation | Linked to higher homocysteine and cardiovascular risks, especially with high-fat diets. |
| MTR | A2756G | No Upregulation (Wild Type) | Upregulation in variants can lower homocysteine but may shunt folate, associating with birth defects and cancers. |
| MTRR | A66G | Downregulation | Reduces B-12 recycling, leading to homocysteine elevation and risks for cancers, birth defects, and mood disorders. |
| SHMT1 | C1240T | Downregulation | Favors nucleotide synthesis over methylation, potentially causing genome instability and increasing cancer risks. |
| MTHFR | C677T | No Downregulation (Wild Type) | Downregulation in variants elevates homocysteine, linking to cardiovascular disease, depression, and birth defects. |
| MTHFR | A1298C | Downregulation | May not independently affect homocysteine but compounds risks when combined with other SNPs, associating with infertility and cancers. |
| COMT | V158M | Downregulation | Impairs catecholamine breakdown, potentially increasing risks for mood disorders, breast cancer, and fibromyalgia. |
These genes are analyzed for genotypes, allele frequencies across populations (e.g., South Asian, European), and potential clinical considerations, providing a global perspective on your genetic profile.
