| | Dataset Information | | Name: | | 11141048 | | Method: | | Microarray | | Tissue: | | Frontal cortex | | Phenotype: | | Alcohol dependence (AD)/Alcohol abuse/Alcoholism | | Publication: | | Lewohl et al. Alcohol Clin Exp Res. (2000) Gene expression in human alcoholism: microarray analysis of frontal cortex. PubMed | | Summary: | | RNA was extracted from postmortem samples of superior frontal cortex of alcoholics and nonalcoholics. Relative levels of RNA were determined by array techniques. This study used both cDNA and oligonucleotide microarrays to provide coverage of a large number of genes and to allow cross-validation for those genes represented on both types of arrays. Expression levels were determined for over 4000 genes and 163 of these were found to differ by 40% or more between alcoholics and nonalcoholics. |
