Germline variant in MSX1 identified in a Dutch family with clustering of Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma
The vast majority of esophageal adenocarcinoma cases are sporadic and caused by somatic mutations. However, over the last decades several families have been identified with clustering of Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma. This observation suggests that one or more hereditary factors may play a role in the initiation of Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma in these families. A Dutch family with clustering of Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma was identified. Normal DNA obtained from the proband diagnosed with Barrett’s esophagus was analyzed with SNP...
