Project description:The genetics, social, cultural and environmental factors pose a great challenge for the diagnosis and treatment of coronary heart disease among different racial groups. We aimed to identify the differentially expressed genes involved in coronary heart disease in Chinese Han people as an aid for screening and diagnosing coronary heart disease. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression to identify the differentially gene between the patients with coronary heart disease and healthy people in Chinese Han people Three patients with coronary heart disease and three healthy people in Chinese Han people were recruited,total RNA of each samples were extracted from peripheral blood to hybridize with Affymetrix microarrays.
Project description:We identified 7 CNV regions that were associated significantly with hyperlipidemia and myocardial infarction in our patients through multistage analysis (P<0.001). The inclusion criteria for enrolling patients were drawn from the Prospective Cardiovascular Munster study [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3202078] and Framingham Heart Study [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9737513]. In brief, patients aged between 20 and 75 years with coronary arterial disease with more than 50% stenosis, as proven by cardiac catheterization, and a history of hyperlipidemia with serum cholesterol level greater than 240 mg/dL or low-density lipoprotein greater than 155 mg/dL were enrolled. Affymetrix SNP arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from whole blood samples. 40 Samples.
