LIVE: MTAP Deficiency and Deletion in Cancer
LIVE WEBINAR: June 4, 2026 | 12:00-1:00pm ET
Registration includes the live webinar link (sent via Zoom), the webinar recording, PDF of the slides, pre- and post- knowledge check questions, and continuing education credit (CME and CMLE).
This interactive live webinar is part 23 of the Emerging and Evolving Biomarkers Series.
Description:
MTAP deficiency due to homozygous MTAP deletion at 9p21 is a new emerging biomarker shown to be associated with poor response to immunotherapy and predictive to MTA-cooperative PRMT5 inhibitors in different solid tumor types including non-small cell lung cancer. There is a need to define appropriate testing algorithms and standardize MTAP testing by immunohistochemistry for broad routine application.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the biological consequences and the clinical impact of MTAP deficiency
- Explain why MTAP deficiency is an emerging predictive biomarker
- Explain the difference between MTAP deletion and MTAP deficiency
- Evaluate the challenges of the methods used for analysis of MTAP status
