Excerpt:
Here, we examined the association between mutations in 25 core DNA repair genes and ICB outcomes in 6619 patients across 9 cancer types with advanced disease and MSK-IMPACT tumor sequencing. Notably, we observed that mutations in 7 of the DNA repair genes (ATM, ATR, POLE, ERCC4, NBN, RAD50, PARP1) were significantly associated with improved overall survival in ICB-treated patients (p < 0.05 for all)...
