Treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is frequently associated with immune-related adverse events (irAEs). A new study identified an interleukin 7 (IL-7) allelic variant-rs16906115-as a major risk factor for the development of ICI-associated irAEs. This association is of great significance as it indicates that germline genetic variants influence the occurrence of irAEs, thus opening a new avenue for identifying high-risk patients to enable better management of ICI therapy and associated irAEs.
免疫检查点抑制剂(ICIs)的治疗常伴有免疫相关不良反应(irAEs)。一项新的研究发现白细胞介素 7(IL-7)等位基因变异体 rs16906115 是 ICI 相关 irAEs 发展的主要危险因素。这一关联具有重要意义,因为它表明种系遗传变异影响 irAEs 的发生,从而为识别高危患者开辟了新途径,以更好地管理 ICI 治疗和相关的 irAEs。
