Abstract excerpt
The aim of present study was to describe changes in gene expression in the temporal lobe of mice induced by deletion of the Wfs1 gene. Temporal lobes samples were analyzed using Affymetrix Mouse Genome 420 2 GeneChips and expression profiles were functionally annotated with GSEA and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. We found that Wfs1 mutant mice are significantly smaller (20.9 +/- 1.6 g) than their wild-type...
