Gene Expression Following Cardioembolic Stroke. Homo sapiens

Blood from subjects with cardioembolic stroke and controls was collected, and the RNA extracted was interrogated and whole genome U133 Affymetrix Arrays. Twenty-three control samples and sixty-nine cardioembolic stroke samples were assayed. Overall design: Blood from subjects with cardioembolic stroke and controls was collected, and the RNA extracted was interrogated and whole genome U133 Affymetrix Arrays. Twenty-three control samples and sixty-nine cardioembolic stroke samples were assayed. Cardioembolic stroke subjects were analyzed at three time points: less than 3 hours, 5 hours, and 24 hours following the event.
