Differences in gene expression and cytokine levels between newly diagnosed and chronic pediatric ITP

Abstract excerpt

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disease where platelets are destroyed prematurely. In the majority of children the disease resolves, but in some it becomes chronic. To investigate whether these 2 phases of the disease are molecularly similar or separate entities we performed DNA microarray analysis (GEO accession number: GSE46922) of T-cells from newly diagnosed children and children with chronic...
