Patient's age is at the time of locally advanced/metastatic disease.

Alterations in bold are considered potentially actionable by either an on- or off-label FDA approved drug.

Patients 2 and 3 each had multiple different biopsies sent for next generation sequencing. Patient 2 has been previously reported¹.

The variant GLI1 p.A670S is common in healthy people from European origin (1/333 individuals – 1000 Genomes database) and is considered neutral by several algorithms (SIFT, Provean, Polyphen-2). However, these algorithms only consider the similarities between amino acids (A and S are both polar uncharged amino acids). The addition of a serine residue within Gli1 sequence creates an additional phosphorylation site, and Gli1 is exclusively regulated by phosphorylation.

The new phosphorylation site created by the A670S variant is not depending on PKA, and therefore may lead to the activation of the Hedgehog pathway. This variant might be pathogenic in the context of basal cell carcinoma.

Patient 5 received the combination of nivolumab and vismodegib.

^**

All three patients who received immunotherapy as monotherapy received immunotherapy after treatment with a hedgehog inhibitor.
