The X-Chromosome Has a Different Pattern of Gene Expression in Women Compared With Men With Ischemic Stroke
4 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Differences in ischemic stroke between men and women have been mainly attributed to hormonal effects. However, sex differences in immune response to ischemia may exist. We hypothesized that differential expression of X-chromosome genes in blood immune cells contribute to differences between men and women with ischemic stroke. METHODS: RNA levels of 683 X-chromosome genes were measured on...
