Title:

Recurrent SERPINB3 and SERPINB4 mutations in patients who respond to anti-CTLA4 immunotherapy

Excerpt:
Here we show that somatic mutations in SERPINB3 and SERPINB4 are associated with survival after anti-CTLA4 immunotherapy in two independent cohorts of patients with melanoma (n = 174). These mutations were strongly associated with overall survival following therapy in both independently collected cohorts.
