Molecular profiles in early onset prostate cancer

Paired germline (blood) and tumour samples were collected from prostate cancer cases <65 years at diagnosis to identify genetic changes in early onset prostate cancer. Whole exome sequencing was performed on these samples. The aim was to determine if these changes are associated with more aggressive disease and to identify targets for treatment and screening by identifying associations with family history, DNA repair germline mutations, and clinical features.

EGAD50000002112	The dataset contains 46 samples: a germline and tumour sample from each of 23 donors. Donors are men diagnosed with prostate cancer at a young age, from the Bob Champion Cancer Trust. The data consists of 92 whole exome sequenced paired FASTQ files, compressed with bgzip. Exome sequences were enriched using Agilent SureSelect XT2 Human All Exon V5 baits, and sequenced with Illumina HiSeq 2500.	Illumina HiSeq 2500	45
