    • Disclosed is a method of predicting the sensitivity of tumour cell growth to inhibition by a Wnt inhibitor, comprising: a) detecting in a sample of tumour cells from a patient a level of a biomarker, where the biomarker is selected from the group consisting of: (i) DNA copy number at the RNF43 chromosomal region and/or at the ZNRF3 chromosomal region to determine a loss of heterozygosity; (ii) sequenced genomic DNA, cDNA or RNA from cancer tissues to detect an inactivation mutation in the RNF43 gene and/or the ZNRF3 gene; (iii) RNF43 mRNA expression and/or ZNRF3 mRNA expression; (iv) RNF43 protein expression and/or ZNRF3 protein expression; or (v) a combination of biomarkers (i)-(iv): b) comparing the level of the biomarker in the tumour cell sample to a control level of the biomarker selected from the group consisting of: (i) a control level of the biomarker that has been correlated with sensitivity to the Wnt inhibitor; and (ii) a control level of the biomarker that has been correlated with resistance to the Wnt inhibitor; and c) selecting the patient as being predicted to benefit from therapeutic administration of the Wnt inhibitor, if the patient’s tumour has an inactivating RNF43 or ZNRF3 mutation, if the patient’s tumour has a decreased copy number of RNF43 or ZNRF3, or the patient tumour has a decreased expression of RNF43 mRNA or protein or a decreased expression of ZNRF3 mRNA or protein indicates that the patients tumour is likely to be sensitive to Wnt inhibitor.
