Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Using gene expression profiling, we aimed to identify genes that are predominantly expressed in human carotid atherosclerotic plaques. Such genes may be important in atherogenesis and pathophysiology of the plaque, and genes that encode for secreted proteins may be potential biomarkers for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. METHODS: DNA microarray generated expression profiles of human carotid...
