Table1_Detection of chromosomal instability using ultrasensitive chromosomal aneuploidy detection in the diagnosis of precancerous lesions of gastric cancer.docx
Background:The diagnosis of Precancerous Lesions of Gastric Cancer (PLGC) is challenging in clinical practice. We conducted a clinical study by analyzing the information of relevant chromosome copy number variations (CNV) in the TCGA database followed by the UCAD technique to evaluate the value of Chromosomal Instability (CIN) assay in the diagnosis of PLGC.Methods:Based on the screening of gastric cancer related data in TCGA database, CNV analysis was performed to explore the information of chromosome CNV related to gastric cancer. Based on the gastroscopic pathology results, 12 specimens of patients with severe atrophy were screened to analyze the paraffin specimens of gastric mucosa by UCAD technology, and to explore the influence of related factors on them.Results:The results of CNV in TCGA database suggested that chromosome 7, 8, and 17 amplification was obvious in patients with gastric cancer. UCAD results confirmed that in 12 patients with pathologic diagnosis of severe atrophy, five of them had positive results of CIN, with a positive detection rate of 41.7%, which was mainly manifested in chromosome seven and chromosome eight segments amplification. We also found that intestinalization and HP infection were less associated with CIN. And the sensitivity of CIN measurement results was significantly better than that of tumor indicators.Conclusion:The findings suggest that the diagnosis of PLGC can be aided by UCAD detection of CIN, of which Chr7 and 8 may be closely related to PLGC.</p
