Two studies have uncovered genetic determinants that shape the response of patients with melanoma to anti-cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated antigen 4 (CTLA4) therapy. Using whole-genome sequencing, these studies identified recurrent mutations that could predict response. Riaz et al. found that mutations in SERPINB3 and SERPINB4 were associated with survival following anti-CTLA4 therapy. By contrast, Gao et al. reported that mutations in interferon-γ (IFNγ) pathway genes correlated with primary resistance to CTLA4 blockade. These findings underline the importance of accurate patient selection for responses to immune checkpoint blockade.
