Transcription profiling of oesophageal adenocarcinoma by RNA-seq
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Oesophageal adenocarcinoma (OAC) is one of the ten most prevalent forms of cancer which is showing a rapid increase in incidence and yet exhibits poor survival rates. Compared to many other common cancers, the molecular changes that occur in this disease are relatively poorly understood although genomic sequencing studies have identified several genes encoding chromatin remodeling enzymes that are frequently mutated in OAC. This finding is consistent with the knowledge that one important change that occurs in cancer cells is a reprogramming of the chromatin environment which leads to subsequent changes in their transcriptional profile.
