Use of gene expression profiling to identify a novel glucocorticoid sensitivity determining gene, BMPRII

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT Wide variation in glucocorticoid (Gc) sensitivity exists between individuals which may influence susceptibility to, and treatment response of, inflammatory diseases. To determine a genetic fingerprint of Gc sensitivity 100 healthy human volunteers were polarized into the 10% most Gc‐sensitive and 10% most Gc‐resistant following a low dose dexamethasone (0.25mg) suppression test. Gene expression profiling...
