Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: DNA microarray technology has enabled genomewide analysis of gene transcript levels, yielding insight into the molecular nature of liver disease. METHODS: We compared gene expression of liver biopsy specimens in 16 patients with different stages of chronic hepatitis B, five with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), five with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), and six with druginduced hepatitis. RESULTS: Of 21...
