Rates of gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinomas (GEJAs) have shown an alarming increase; however, the genetic background of GEJA and its Siewert classification have yet to be uncovered. Here, 60 paired tumor and normal DNA samples from GEJA patients were analyzed by whole-exome sequencing. Among them, 13 were Siewert type I, 14 were type II, and 33 were type III. A predominance of C/G>T/A substitutions was discovered in GEJA, followed by C/G>A/T substitutions. Notably, Siewert type I and type II/III display distinct sets of driver genes, mutational spectrum, and recurrently disrupted pathways. Siewert type I showed similarity to esophageal adenocarcinomas (EACs) and the chromosomal instability subtype of stomach adenocarcinomas, while Siewert type II/III showed similarity to the genomic stable subtype of stomach adenocarcinoma. We also found that mutation of FBXW7, a driver gene of GEJA, was enriched in Siewert type I. Our data identify differences between GEJA and stomach/EACs at the genomic level and provide evidence for differential treatment based on Siewert classification of GEJA. © 2020 The Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland.
