These methods employ an alkylating hexitol derivative such as dianhydrogalactitol, a derivative or analog of dianhydrogalactitol, diacetyldianhydrogalactitol, a derivative or analog of diacetyldianhydrogalactitol, dibromodulcitol, and a derivative or analog of dibromodulcitol. The compositions can include such alkylating hexitol derivatives. The methods can further include administration of a BH3 mimetic, and the compositions can further include a BH3 mimetic. In subjects having a dysregulation of the AHI-1 gene, the methods can further include the administration of an agent modulating the expression or activity of the AHI-1 gene or AHI-1 protein, and the compositions can further include such an agent.
