DNA Damage Repair Genes in Prostate Cancer - (HJF 557-19)
Prostate cancer patients with DDRG mutations are increasingly considered for targeted cancer therapies. Currently available DDRG mutation tests rely on a rather small number of genes which are not often mutated in African American prostate cancer patients. This invention describes a robust data set on inherited mutations which can be used to develop...
