Association of Germline Variants in Natural Killer Cells With Tumor Immune Microenvironment Subtypes, Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes, Immunotherapy Response, Clinical Outcomes, and Cancer Risk

Abstract excerpt

Importance: Only a small fraction of patients with cancer receiving immune checkpoint therapy (ICT) respond, which is associated with tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) subtypes and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). Objective: To examine whether germline variants of natural killer (NK) cells, a key component of the immune system, are associated with TIME subtypes, the abundance of TILs, response to ICT,...
