Smoothened (SMO) inhibitors recently entered clinical trials for sonic-hedgehog-driven medulloblastoma (SHH-MB). Clinical response is highly variable. To understand the mechanism(s) of primary resistance and identify pathways cooperating with aberrant SHH signaling, we sequenced and profiled a large cohort of SHH-MBs (n = 133). SHH pathway mutations involved PTCH1 (across all age groups), SUFU (infants, including germline), and SMO (adults). Children >3 years old harbored an excess of downstream MYCN and GLI2 amplifications and frequent TP53 mutations, often in the germline, all of which were rare in infants and adults. Functional assays in different SHH-MB xenograft models demonstrated that SHH-MBs harboring a PTCH1 mutation were responsive to SMO inhibition, whereas tumors harboring an SUFU mutation or MYCN amplification were primarily resistant.

•SHH-MBs in infants, children, and adults are genomically distinct from each other•Most adult, but only half of the pediatric, SHH-MBs will respond to SMO inhibition•Tumor predisposition (PTCH1, SUFU, TP53) is highly prevalent in pediatric SHH-MB•Recurrent mutations outside the SHH-pathway suggest rational combination therapies
Smoothened (SMO) inhibitors are in clinical trials for sonic-hedgehog-driven medulloblastoma (SHH-MB), but response varies. By profiling a large SHH-MB cohort, Kool et al. reveal age-dependent genomic distinction and demonstrate genotype-related response to SMO inhibition using patient-derived xenograft cells.
