Gene expression profiles evaluated by microarray-based quantization of RNA are used in studies of differential diagnosis and prognosis in cancer. RNA of good quality is mandatory for this evaluation. The RNA most often comes from tumor banks with limited amount of tissue, and the tissue often undergoes repeated thawing and freezing. We evaluated the influence of repeated division of tumor samples at room temperature, on RNA quality and quantity, in addition to the gene expression profile. Sixtee ...[more]
