Gene expression patterns in 23 cervical samples of women having gone through different types of child birth

ABSTRACT: We performed a microarray experiment to test the hypothesis that pre-labour premature rupture of fetal membranes (PPROM) has a different underlying pathology from spontaneous premature labour with intact membranes (PTL). We thought that the different genetic signature would be detected in the cervical tissue. Our study included cervical biopsies obtained as previously described from women undergoing caesarean section (CS) following PPROM, PTL, term labour (TL) or delivering at term prior to the presentation of labour (Term no labour –TNL). After quality control of the expression arrays, any association between sample covariates was evaluated and no evidence was found of unexpected associations. The differences in expression levels for each statistical comparison were then computed. We id
