Sex and Age Dimorphism of Myocardial Gene Expression in Nonischemic Human Heart Failure
1 Dec 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We report the first comprehensive analysis of gene expression differences by sex and age in left ventricular samples from 102 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. METHODS AND RESULTS: Gene expression data (HG-U133A gene chip, Affymetrix) were analyzed from 30 females and 72 males from 3 separate centers. More than 1800 genes displayed sexual dimorphism in the heart (adjusted P value <0.05). A...
