Gene expression of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from adults with sickle cell disease (University of Chicago cohort)
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Sickle cell disease is associated with systemic complications, many associated with either severity of disease or increased risk of mortality. We sought to identify a circulating gene expression profile whose predictive capacity spanned the spectrum of these poor outcomes in sickle cell disease. The Training cohort consisted of patients with SCD who were prospectively recruited from the University of Illinois. The Testing cohort consisted of a combination of patients prospectively seen at two separate institutions including the University of Chicago and Howard University.

Project description:Patient selection and specimen collection. Thirty-six freshly frozen tumor samples were prospectively collected from patients undergoing surgery or biopsy for HNSCC at the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill (21 patients) and Vanderbilt University (15 patients). All tissues were snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen within 30 minutes of surgical resection or biopsy, and kept at -80oC until further processing. All patients consented to participation in this study under protocols approved by IRB at the two institutions. This set includes the samples previously deposited into GEO including 8 additional samples and adjustment for protocol changes. The original 36 before protocol changes (and thus unadjusted) are here: Slebos RJ, Yi Y, Ely K, et al. Gene expression differences associated with human papillomavirus status in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Clin Cancer Res 2006;12(3 Pt 1):701-9. Keywords: disease state analysis
