ABSTRACT:
RCDII has a poor prognosis (5-year survival rate <50%) also because of the development of enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma. Diagnosis of RCDII is complex and involves a combination of several techniques such as multiplex PCR analysis to determine the clonality of T-cell receptor gene rearrangements and immunohistochemistry or flow-cytometry to define the cell surface markers of IELs. Therefore studying the genetics and genomics of RCD2 susceptibility may provide novel insights into mechanistic basis for RCD2 development. The aim of this experiment was to profile the global gene expression changes in order to understand the dysregulated pathways in RCD2 biopsies and to uncover downstream pathways affected by RCD2 genetic susceptibility loci.
All patients were diagnosed with RCD2 and gut biopsies were collected from these patients to perform microarray based gene expression analysis. RNA from eleven RCD2 biopsy samples were analyzed using Illumina Human Ref8 v1 array.
