Summary

Prostate carcinoma (MONDO:0005159) is a cancer (an umbrella term covering 9 Mondo subtypes) with 65 cohort genes (2,976 GWAS associations across 116 studies; 20 CIViC-evidence somatic drivers) and 5,473 clinical trials. The dominant Reactome pathway is Abacavir transmembrane transport (3 cohort genes). Molecularly, BRCA1 Mutation confers sensitivity to Olaparib in Prostate Cancer (CIViC Level A); 48 further subtype–drug associations are mapped below. Top therapeutic interventions include goserelin, leuprolide, and bicalutamide.

BRCA2Breast cancer type 2 susceptibility proteinInvolved in double-strand break repair and/or homologous recombination.
CHEK2Serine/threonine-protein kinase Chk2Serine/threonine-protein kinase which is required for checkpoint-mediated cell cycle arrest, activation of DNA repair and apoptosis in response to the presence of DNA double-strand breaks.
HOXB13Homeobox protein Hox-B13Sequence-specific transcription factor which is part of a developmental regulatory system that provides cells with specific positional identities on the anterior-posterior axis.
IGF2Insulin-like growth factor 2The insulin-like growth factors possess growth-promoting activity.
ATMSerine-protein kinase ATMSerine/threonine protein kinase which activates checkpoint signaling upon double strand breaks (DSBs), apoptosis and genotoxic stresses such as ionizing ultraviolet A light (UVA), thereby acting as a DNA damage sensor.

Pharmacogenomics

Cohort genes with a PharmGKB record: 65; with CPIC/DPWG dosing guidelines: 0.

No cohort gene has a CPIC/DPWG genotype-guided dosing guideline (PharmGKB).

Drug repurposing candidates

30 approved/phased drugs hit cohort targets but don’t yet appear in disease-level clinical trials. Target-inhibition rationale is strongest for cancer driver genes; a bioactivity hit is a screening signal, not a treatment claim.
