Key Genes Identified in Nonsyndromic Microtia by the Analysis of Transcriptomics and Proteomics.

ABSTRACT: As one of the common birth defects worldwide, nonsyndromic microtia is a complex disease that results from interactions between environmental and genetic factors. However, the underlying causes of nonsyndromic microtia are currently not well understood. The present study determined transcriptomic and proteomic profiles of auricular cartilage tissues in 10 patients with third-degree nonsyndromic microtia and five control subjects by RNA microarray and tandem mass tag-based quantitative proteomics technology. Relative mRNA and protein abundances were compared and evaluated for their function and putative involvement in nonsyndromic microtia. A total of 3971 differentially expressed genes and 256 differentially expressed proteins were identified. Bioinformatics analysis demonstrated that some
