Intrinsic transcriptomic sex differences in human endothelial cells at birth and in adults are associated with coronary artery disease targets
23 Jul 2020
Abstract excerpt
Sex differences in endothelial cell (EC) biology may reflect intrinsic differences driven by chromosomes or sex steroid exposure and gender differences accumulated over life. We analysed EC gene expression data from boy-girl twins at birth and in non-twin adults to detect sex differences at different stages of life, and show that 14-25% of the EC transcriptome is sex-biased. By combining data from both stages of...
