description: The GEArray Q Series Human Cardiovascular Disease Biomarkers Gene Array I is designed to analyze the expression of 96 genes involved in the manifestation of cardiovascular disease. Heart disease and stroke, the principal cardiovascular diseases, are the first and third leading cause of death in United States. The earlier manifestations of these diseases include hypertension as well as atherosclerosis, a complex process in which inflammation plays a central role. The genes on this array were selected based on published studies of in vivo and in vitro cardiovascular disease models. They are listed as ether biomarkers for risk of cardiovascular disease or genes associated with a failing or infracted heart. The processes regulated by the genes on this array include adhesion, inflammation, apoptosis, extracellular transport, and others. A complete expression profile of these genes should serve as an effective tool to unlock the molecular mechanisms that govern the onset and progression of cardiovascular diseases. Through a simple side-by-side hybridization using your experimental RNA samples, the arrays provided in this kit, and a SuperArray Probe Synthesis Kit (sold separately), you can simultaneously determine the expression profile of these 96 biomarkers of cardiovascular diseases.
