Current knowledge of prostate cancer genomes is largely based on relatively small patient cohorts using single modality analysis platforms. Here we report concordant assessment of...
...al alterations in the PI3K, RAS/RAF and androgen receptor (AR) pathways in nearly all metastatic samples and in a higher frequency of primary samples than previously suspected based on single-gene studies. Other new findings include evidence that the nuclear receptor coactivator NCOA2 functions as a driver oncogene in ~20 percent of primaries. Tumors with the androgen-driven TMPRSS2-ERG fusion were significantly associated with a small, previously unrecognized, prostate-specific 3p14 deletion that, throug...
