Whole genome expression profiling reveals a significant role for immune function in human abdominal aortic aneurysms

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Abdominal aortic aneurysms are a common disorder with an incompletely understood etiology. We used Illumina and Affymetrix microarray platforms to generate global gene expression profiles for both aneurysmal (AAA) and non-aneurysmal abdominal aorta, and identified genes that were significantly differentially expressed between cases and controls. RESULTS: Affymetrix and Illumina arrays included 18,057...
