<div> </div><div>In <b><a href="http://respondstudy.org/">RESPOND</a> Project 2</b>, we seek to identify rare genetic factors that are associated with prostate cancer (PCa) risk and aggressiveness in men of African ancestry (AA). We will conduct exome sequencing of 15,000 prostate cancer cases and 5,000 controls from the <a href="http://respondstudy.org/">RESPOND</a> cohort and the African Ancestry Prostate Cancer Consortium (AAPC) with cases selected based on risk categories: high-risk (stage T3/T4 or Gleason 8+ or PSA>20 ng/ml), intermediate-risk (stage T2b/T2c or Gleason 7 or PSA 10-20 ng/ml) and low-risk disease (stage T1/T2a and Gleason ≤ 6 and PSA&#x3C;10 ng/ml). We expect the findings from this Project to significantly advance knowledge of susceptibility to aggressive PCa and racial/ethnic disparities in PCa risk, and to guide the development of future preventive, early detection and prognostic measures for AA men. The first phase of the study will include exome sequence data for approximately 7,500 cases and 5,000 controls from AAPC. The second phase of the study will include exome data for 5,000 cases from <a href="http://respondstudy.org/">RESPOND</a> and AAPC.<br></div><br><div><b>ACKNOWLEDGMENTS and CONTRIBUTING SITES </b></div><br><div><b>Multiethnic Cohort (MEC):</b> The MEC and the genotyping in this study were supported by <a href="https://www.nih.gov/">National Institutes of Health (NIH)</a> grants CA63464, CA54281, CA1326792, CA148085, and HG004726.
