Genes reported in at least 3 of the 16 esophageal expression profiling studies which compare squamous, BE and EAC tissue groups.

*Capitalized HGNC gene symbols and descriptions were used as search parameters through each manuscript, excluding methods and supplementary material.#For gene symbols not present as text strings within the English language, a separate case insensitive search was conducted of each manuscript.∧Additional searches were conducted using the previous gene symbols or abbreviations as listed in these “alias” columns.

* 本研究以大写格式的人类基因命名委员会（HGNC）基因符号及其描述文本作为检索参数，针对每篇手稿进行检索，检索范围排除方法章节与补充材料。对于无法以英文文本字符串形式存在的基因符号，则对每篇手稿开展不区分大小写的独立检索。此外，还将使用这些"alias"列中列出的既往基因符号或缩写开展补充检索。
