Project name: Homo sapiens

Description: Gene expression microarray was applied to discover novel rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-specific gene expressions by comparing the expression profiles of synovial membranes from patients with RA, osteoarthritis (OA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). We performed a gene expression microarray analysis of RA synovial membranes and simultaneously compared the expression profile with the profiles of AS and OA synovial membranes.Overall design: This study was undertaken to investigate the global gene expression profiles in synovial tissues from RA (n=10), OA (n=7), and AS patients (n=5). The Illumina HumanHT-12 v4 Expression BeadChip were used for a complete genome-wide transcript profiling.

Data type: Transcriptome or Gene expression
