The studies included in each case series were as follows: 1, Stand Up To Cancer–Prostate Cancer Foundation discovery series; 2, Stand Up To Cancer–Prostate Cancer Foundation validation series; 3, Royal Marsden Hospital; 4, University of Washington; 5, Weill Cornell Medical College; 6, University of Michigan; and 7, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. L-I denotes low to intermediate, M mutation present, NA not applicable, and NM no mutation present.

The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cohort includes a series of patients with localized prostate cancer.

Race and ethnic background were self-reported.

§

The Gleason score is a measure of the differentiation state of prostate cancer; scores range from 2 to 10, with higher scores associated with worse clinical outcomes. When two grades are given (e.g., 3+4), the first indicates the more common grade found in the tumor.
