| Abstract | PURPOSE: Barrett's associated esophageal adenocarcinoma (ADC) is one of the malignancies of most rapidly increasing incidence. The aim of the study was to assess p16 tumor suppressor gene alterations in the ADC premalignant conditions. MATERIAL & METHODS: In the present study two p16 gene mutations (A148T and I49S) analysis with PCR- RFLP method have been performed in oesophageal biopsy specimen in 33 patients with Barrett's gastric metaplasia (GM), 27 - with Barrett's intestinal metaplasia (IM), 8 - with dysplasia and 11 - with ADC. RESULTS: We have detected the I49S mutation in 12% (4/33) patients with GM, 18% (5/27) with IM, 50% - with dysplasia (4/8) and in 27% (3/11) - with ADC. The A148T mutation were found in 3% (1/33) patients with GM, 22% (6/27) - IM, 25% (2/8) - dysplasia and 27% patients with ADC (3/11). The frequency of the A148S mutation was rising in GM - IM - dysplasia - ADC sequence and was significantly lower in GM compared to all other grades taken together (p=0.0256). The frequency of the I49S mutation was rising in GM - IM - dysplasia sequence, to drop in ADC cases. There were no significant differences in frequency of the I49S mutation between studied groups. CONCLUSIONS: These findings are consistent with the hypothesis on the role of the p16 mutations in early phase of Barrett's epithelium progression to ADC. The presence of p16 mutations in esophageal metaplastic columnar epithelium without goblet cells suggest that this pathology may have malignancy potential. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
