Gene expression changes in postmortem tissue from the rostral pons of multiple system atrophy patients
8 Feb 2007
Abstract excerpt
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by various degrees of Parkinsonism, cerebellar ataxia, and autonomic dysfunction. In this report, Affymetrix DNA microarrays were used to measure changes in gene expression in the rostral pons, an area that undergoes extensive damage in MSA, but not other synucleinopathies. Significant changes in expression of 254 genes (180 downregulated...
