GENE EXPRESSION PROFILING IN PEDIATRIC APPENDICITIS
Gene expression profiling of pediatric patients with simple appendicitis (SA) compared to perforated appendicitis (PA) and non-appendicitis abdominal pain (NAAP). Overall design: RNA-Seq of peripheral whole blood collected from patients with: simple appendicitis (SA; n=35), perforated appendicitis (PA; n=14), and non-appendicitis abdominal pain (NAAP; n=22).
