Abstract excerpt
CTLA-4 blockade with monoclonal antibodies can lead to cancer regression in patients with metastatic melanoma (MM). CTLA-4 gene polymorphisms may influence the response to anti-CTLA-4 antibodies although few data are available regarding this issue. We analyzed six CTLA-4 single nucleotide polymorphisms (-1661A > G, -1577G > A, -658C > T, -319C > T, +49A > G, and CT60G > A) in 14 Italian MM patients and 45 healthy...
