Characterization of whole blood gene expression profiles as a sequel to globin mRNA reduction in patients with sickle cell disease.
Global transcriptome analysis of whole blood RNA using microarrays has been proven to be challenging due to the high abundance of globin transcripts that constitute 70% of whole blood mRNA. This is a particular problem in patients with sickle cell disease, secondary to the high abundance of globin-e...
