The identification of novel African-specific prognostic, including PTPRD, LSAMP, PACRG, FBXO7, GTF3C2 and NTNG1, and therapeutic targets, including CADM2, PDE4D and YPEL5, emphasises the need for both African inclusion and SV interrogation to reduce advanced PCa ethnic disparity through tailored clinical management. The gene discussed is PTPRD; the disease is posterior cortical atrophy.
