Novel coronary atherothrombosis genes identified by blood cell transcriptome profiling

ABSTRACT: Transcriptome profiling of naïve and platelet-stimulated monocytes from healthy human subjects separated into two different age groups. Ethical approval was obtained from the Derby Main Research Ethics Committee (REC 06/Q2401/134) and the institutional Research and Development Department (RM61056) at the University of Leicester, UK. Briefly, two groups of 17 healthy Northern European Caucasian males were recruited divided by age (age range 18-40, or 40-65 years). Exclusion criteria comprised any pre-existing illness, pharmacotherapy, or family history of premature coronary artery disease (CAD), cerebrovascular disease, or sudden cardiac death. All subjects were fasted for a minimum of 10 hours and had refrained from consuming caffeine for a minimum of 12 hours prior to blood sampling. Clin
