Use of spermatozoal total RNA profiles to study gene-environment interactions in human germ cells
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Paternal exposure to genotoxic compounds is thought to contribute to diseases in their offspring. Therefore, mRNA profiles from sperm in ejaculates of cigarette smokers (N=4) were compared with non-smokers (N=4). Smoking behaviour was verified by assessing cotinine levels in seminal plasma. Gene-expression analysis was subsequently performed using microarray technology (Agilent human 4x44k) to investigate the use of gene-expression profiling as biomarker of gene-environment interactions in human testis
