Bridging Health Disparities: a Genomics and Transcriptomics Analysis by Race in Prostate Cancer.

ABSTRACT: As the era of cancer genomics expands, disproportionate rates of prostate cancer incidence and mortality by race have demonstrated increasing relevance in clinical settings. While Black men are most particularly affected, as data has historically shown, the opposite is observed for Asian men, thus creating a basis for exploring genomic pathways potentially involved in mediating these opposing trends. Studies on racial differences are limited by sample size, but recent expanding collaborations between research institutions may improve these imbalances to enhance investigations on health disparities from the genomics front. In this study, we performed a race genomics analysis using GENIE v11, released in January 2022, to investigate mutation and copy number frequencies of select genes in bot
