Multi-omic cross-sectional cohort study of pre-malignant Barrett’s esophagus reveals early structural variation and retrotransposon activity
17 Mar 2022
Abstract excerpt
Barrett's esophagus is a pre-malignant lesion that can progress to esophageal adenocarcinoma. We perform a multi-omic analysis of pre-cancer samples from 146 patients with a range of outcomes, comprising 642 person years of follow-up. Whole genome sequencing reveals complex structural variants and LINE-1 retrotransposons, as well as known copy number changes, occurring even prior to dysplasia. The structural...
