Abstract

The present disclosure describes methods of identifying a patient that is likely to be responsive to treatment with a protein arginine N-methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) inhibitor. The methods include evaluating a biological sample from the patient for the presence of a spliceosome mutation or alteration, wherein the presence of the alteration indicates a higher likelihood for the patient to be responsive to treatment with the PRMT5 inhibitor than in the absence of the mutation or alteration.
