Muscle from patients with mitochondrial myopathies and congenital muscular dystrophies versus normal human muscle

ABSTRACT: Global gene expression analysis was performed comparing human skeletal muscle samples from patients with various forms of muscular dystrophy and mitochondrial myopathies in order to identify specific gene expression changes associated with collagen VI deficiency (leading to UllrichM-BM-4s Congenital Muscular Dystrophy) and depletion of mitochondrial DNA relative to other mitochondrial myopathies We analysed the gene expression profile of skeletal muscle from children suffering from mitochondrial myopathies and various forms of muscular dystrophy relative to skeletal muscle from healthy children using commercially available arrays that represents the complete human genome (Agilent Human SurePrintGE, 8x60K )
