Fibrosis Distinguishes Critical Limb Ischemia Patients from Claudicants in a Transcriptomic and Histologic Analysis

Abstract excerpt

Most patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) from peripheral arterial disease (PAD) do not have antecedent intermittent claudication (IC). We hypothesized that transcriptomic analysis would identify CLI-specific pathways, particularly in regards to fibrosis. Derivation cohort data from muscle biopsies in PAD and non-PAD (controls) was obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GSE120642). Transcriptomic...
