Compared to Caucasian men, African American men with mCRPC after exposure to abiraterone and/or enzalutamide had a higher incidence of somatic CDK12 P/LP mutations and KIT amplifications and P/LP mutations based on ctDNA. African American men also had more frameshift mutations. We hypothesize that these findings have potential implications for tumor immunogenicity.
