Characterisation of Copy Number Changes in the Progression of Barrett’s Oesophagus
… changes in formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue (Scheinin et al., 2014). We hypothesised that copy number alterations may be valuable markers in disease progression and aimed to characterise them in the progression of Barrett’s using sWGS in order to predict progression in patients …
