Type I interferon–inducible gene expression in blood is present and reflects disease activity in dermatomyositis and polymyositis
29 Oct 2007
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To apply gene expression profiling to the study of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with inflammatory myopathies, in order to provide insight into disease pathogenesis and identify potential biomarkers associated with disease activity. METHODS: We used Affymetrix whole-genome microarrays to measure the expression of approximately 38,500 genes in 65 blood and 15 muscle samples from 44...
