Aims: There is an urgent need for appropriate biomarkers that can precisely and reliably predict immunotherapy efficacy, as immunotherapy responses can differ in skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) patients. Methods: In this study, univariate regression models and survival analysis were used to examine the link between calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha 1C ( CACNA1C) mutation status and immunotherapy outcome in SKCM patients receiving immunotherapy. Mutational landscape, immunogenicity, tumor microenvironment and pathway-enrichment analyses were also performed. Results: The CACNA1C mutation group had a better prognosis, higher immunogenicity, lower endothelial cell infiltration, significant enrichment of antitumor immune response pathways and significant downregulation of protumor pathways. Conclusion: CACNA1C mutation status is anticipated to be a biomarker for predicting melanoma immunotherapy effectiveness.
