Longitudinal expression profiling in whole blood of multiple sclerosis patients and controls [IFN_discovery dataset]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Multiple sclerosis is the most common autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. Studying whole blood RNA from a cohort of 195 MS patients and 66 healthy controls, we identified gene expression signatures for interferon treatment and disease status by microarray analysis. Blood was collected at multiple time points (up to 3 for patients, 2 for controls). Patients were either untreated or treated with Interferon. In total, 626 Affymetrix exon arrays were analyzed, split into discovery and replication data sets. This metadata file contains information on all samples processed in the discovery data set (n=318) when we compared gene expression in untreated MS patients (n=62) to IFN treated patients (n=58).
