Abstract B075: Identification of shared DNA repair gene variants in the African American Hereditary Prostate Cancer (AAHPC) cohort using whole-exome sequencing

African American men experience disproportionately higher incidence and mortality rates from prostate cancer yet remain underrepresented in genomic studies, limiting the discovery and validation of inherited susceptibility variants that contribute to hereditary prostate cancer (HPC) risk. Homologous recombination...
