Human cardiac-specific cDNA array for idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy: sex-related differences
27 Feb 2008
Abstract excerpt
Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM) constitutes a large portion of patients with heart failure of unknown etiology. Up to 50% of all transplant recipients carry this clinical diagnosis. Female-specific gene expression in IDCM has not been explored. We report sex-related differences in the gene expression profile of ventricular myocardium from patients undergoing cardiac transplantation. We produced and...
