Despite these improvements, PCa remains the second leading cause of cancer death in men in the United States. Further understanding of the genetic underpinnings of lethal PCa is required to drive risk detection and prevention and ultimately reduce mortality. We therefore set out to identify germline variants associated with cases of lethal prostate cancer (LPCa).</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Using a two-stage study design, we compared whole-exome sequencing data of 550 LPCa patients to 488 healthy male controls. Men were classified as having LPCa based on medical record review. Candidate genes were identified using gene- and gene-set-based rare truncating variant association tests. Case-control burden testing through Firth's penalized logistic regression and case-gnomAD allelic burden testing through a one-sided mid-p Fisher's exact test were conducted.
