Abstract B39: A pilot study to establish procedures for DNA and RNA isolation from African esophageal tumor specimens

Abstract: Objective: We propose to utilize tumor biospecimens from patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) to identify possible genetic, molecular, and infectious determinants of this high-incidence disease in East Africa. However, laboratory technologies in East Africa are not available to support DNA and RNA extraction and genome and transcriptome sequencing from patient specimens. In preparation for establishment of a biorepository for African ESCC specimens, we compared different fixation and preserv… Show more
