Breast and prostate cancers harbor common somatic copy number alterations that consistently differ by race and are associated with survival

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Pan-cancer studies of somatic copy number alterations (SCNAs) have demonstrated common SCNA patterns across cancer types, but despite demonstrable differences in aggressiveness of some cancers by race, pan-cancer SCNA variation by race has not been explored. This study investigated a) racial differences in SCNAs in both breast and prostate cancer, b) the degree to which they are shared across cancers,...
