Gene Expression Profile Analysis in Human T Lymphocytes from Patients with Down Syndrome

Abstract excerpt

Down Syndrome (DS) is caused by the presence of three copies of the whole human chromosome 21 (HC21) or of a HC21 restricted region; the phenotype is likely to have originated from the altered expression of genes in the HC21. We apply the cDNA microarray method to the study of gene expression in human T lymphocytes with trisomy 21 in comparison to normal cells. Two patients with DS were investigated, along with...
