Gene expression phenotypes of atherosclerosis.
OBJECTIVE Fulfilling the promise of personalized medicine by developing individualized diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for atherosclerosis will depend on a detailed understanding of the genes and gene variants that contribute to disease susceptibility and progression. To that end, our group has developed a nonbiased approach congruent with the multigenic concept of complex diseases by ide...
متن کاملNoninvasive phenotypes of atherosclerosis.
Background and Purpose—Noninvasive measures of atherosclerosis, such as carotid intima-media thickness, total carotid plaque area, and carotid stenosis, probably represent different phenotypes with distinct determinants. For instance, total carotid plaque area may reflect atherosclerotic lesion size more closely than carotid stenosis, which instead may reflect hemodynamic compromise within the ...
متن کاملGene Expression Profiling of Human Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is a progressive inflammatory disease that causes lipid accumulation in the arterial wall, leading to the formation of plaques. The clinical manifestations of plaque rupture—stroke and myocardial infarction—are increasing worldwide and pose an enormous economic burden for society. Atherosclerosis development reflects a complex interaction between environmental exposures and gene...
متن کاملMolecular phenotypes of atherosclerosis: fingering the perpetrators.
The initiation and progression of atherosclerosis appears driven by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Access to circulating lipoproteins or to molecules shed into the blood from arterial wall cells permits genetic diversity to be evaluated in relation to disease risk; environmental factors are commonly understood to relate to macro-risk such as diet, smoking, etc. However, a m...
متن کاملDiscrimination of Meniscal Regional Phenotypes Using Gene Expression Profiles
Introduction The knee menisci are heterogeneous fibrocartilages with regional variations in phenotype and extracellular matrix composition reflecting varying functional demands. The inner (compressive) region is generally described as closer to cartilage, with higher aggrecan and collagen II contents and rounded fibrochondrocytes resembling articular chondrocytes, while the outer (tensile) thir...
