Gene Expression Profile in Peripheral Blood Cells of Friedreich Ataxia Patients

Gene Expression Profile in Peripheral Blood Cells of Friedreich Ataxia Patients. Agessandro Abrahao, Jose Luiz Pedroso, Patricia de Carvalho Aguiar and Orlando Barsottini; Neurology April 6, 2015 vol. 84 no. 14 Supplement P2.122

We found a robust downregulation of FXN, but no statistically significant differences were found between FRDA and controls for the remaining genes. Except for FXN, our study did not find a differential gene expression profile in PBCs of FRDA patients and a reliable gene expression profile biomarker obtained from an easily accessible tissue remains unclear.
