This study presents nanopore sequencing as a valid and efficient method for determining MGMT promotor methylation status. It offers a comprehensive view of the MGMT promoter methylation landscape, which enables the identification of potentially clinically relevant subgroups of patients. Further exploration of the clinical implications of patient stratification using nanopore sequencing of MGMT is warranted.
