Altered expression of mitochondrial and extracellular matrix genes in the heart of human fetuses with chromosome 21 trisomy
7 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The Down syndrome phenotype has been attributed to overexpression of chromosome 21 (Hsa21) genes. However, the expression profile of Hsa21 genes in trisomic human subjects as well as their effects on genes located on different chromosomes are largely unknown. Using oligonucleotide microarrays we compared the gene expression profiles of hearts of human fetuses with and without Hsa21 trisomy. RESULTS:...
