Familial Barrett's esophagus associated with adenocarcinoma. 1992

Department of Gastroenterology, Ohio State University, Columbus.

A family with six cases of Barrett's esophagus over three generations is described. The Barrett's esophagus affected only males, and there were three associated adenocarcinomas. The mechanism of inheritance is compatible with an autosomal dominant pattern with nearly complete penetrance. Other case reports in the literature are compared with this familial case of Barrett's esophagus with associated adenocarcinomas.

D001471 Barrett Esophagus A condition with damage to the lining of the lower ESOPHAGUS resulting from chronic acid reflux (ESOPHAGITIS, REFLUX). Through the process of metaplasia, the squamous cells are replaced by a columnar epithelium with cells resembling those of the INTESTINE or the salmon-pink mucosa of the STOMACH. Barrett's columnar epithelium is a marker for severe reflux and precursor to ADENOCARCINOMA of the esophagus.
