Chromosome 4 hyperploidy represents an early genetic aberration in premalignant Barrett’s oesophagus
11 Apr 2003
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Characterisation of the underlying molecular mechanisms that promote Barrett's progression may ultimately lead to identification of potential predictive genetic markers that classify patients' malignant risk. In an attempt to understand these causative pathways, fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) was used in this study to determine when specific genetic alterations arise during...
