title = "Germline DNA-repair Gene Mutations and Outcomes in Men with Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer Receiving First-line Abiraterone and Enzalutamide",
abstract = "To determine whether and how germline DNA-repair gene mutations influence clinical outcomes to abiraterone or enzalutamide in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), we performed germline genotyping for 50 DNA-repair genes using blood samples from 172 patients with CRPC beginning first-line systemic therapy with abiraterone or enzalutamide. We discovered that the presence of germline DNA-repair gene defects (particularly mutations in the BRCA1/2 and ATM genes) were associated with better outcomes to abiraterone and enzalutamide.",
