Tourette syndrome: gene expression as a tool to discover drug targetsIsaac H Liao
Medical Investigation of Neurodevelopmental Disorders MIND Institute and Department of Neurology, University of California at Davis, Sacramento, California 95817, USA
Neurotherapeutics 7:302-6. 2010..Here, we consider the possibility of applying this approach to Tourette syndrome. We also review current theories of Tourette syndrome etiology and pharmacology...
Blood gene expression correlated with tic severity in medicated and unmedicated patients with Tourette SyndromeIsaac H Liao
University of California, Davis, CA 9581, USA
Pharmacogenomics 11:1733-41. 2010..Gene-expression studies provide valuable insight into the causes of TS; however, many studies of gene expression in TS do not account for the effects of medication...
GABA- and acetylcholine-related gene expression in blood correlate with tic severity and microarray evidence for alternative splicing in Tourette syndrome: a pilot studyYingfang Tian
University of California at Davis, M I N D, Institute and Department of Neurology, USA
Brain Res 1381:228-36. 2011..This pilot study suggests that at least some of these GABA- and ACh-related genes observed in blood that correlate with tics or are alternatively spliced are involved in the pathophysiology of TS and tics...
Exon expression and alternatively spliced genes in Tourette SyndromeYingfang Tian
M I N D Institute, Department of Neurology, University of California at Davis, Sacramento, 95817, USA
Am J Med Genet B Neuropsychiatr Genet 156:72-8. 2011..However, the findings are tempered by the small sample size and multiple comparisons and require confirmation using PCR or deep RNA sequencing and a much larger patient population...
Empirical Bayes accomodation of batch-effects in microarray data using identical replicate reference samples: application to RNA expression profiling of blood from Duchenne muscular dystrophy patientsWynn L Walker
Department of Neurology and MIND Institute, University of California at Davis, Sacramento, California, USA
BMC Genomics 9:494. 2008..Existing methods can correct for batch effects only when samples from all biological groups are represented in every batch...
Recombinant Fv-Hsp70 protein mediates neuroprotection after focal cerebral ischemia in ratsXinhua Zhan
Department of Neurology and MIND Institute, University of California at Davis, Sacramento, Calif 95817, USA
Stroke 41:538-43. 2010..This study investigated the effects of intravenous recombinant Fv-Hsp70 protein on infarction volume and behavior after experimental ischemic stroke...
Identification and validation of suitable endogenous reference genes for gene expression studies in human peripheral bloodBoryana S Stamova
Department of Neurology and M, Institute, University of California at Davis Medical Center, Sacramento, CA 95817, USA
BMC Med Genomics 2:49. 2009..These genes should be useful as normalization genes for microarray and RT-PCR whole blood studies of human physiology, metabolism and disease...
