Prostate cancer is a prevalent cause of cancer morbidity and mortality in men. In order to characterize the full range of somatic mutations in protein-coding genes that may drive the growth of prostate cancer, we sequenced the exonic regions of genomic and tumor DNA from over 100 patients with hi...
Seven primary prostate cancers and their paired normal counterparts were DNA-sequenced on a massively parallel sequencing platform. This approach was taken to investigate the genomes for mutations and genomic alterations that would be undetectable by lower-resolution methods. As result, tumor...
The overarching goals of the ADSP are to: (1) identify new genomic variants contributing to increased risk of developing AD, (2) identify new genomic variants contributing to protection against developing AD, and (3) provide insight as to why individuals with known risk factor variants escape fro...
