Genomic expression patterns of mitral valve tissues from dogs with degenerative mitral valve disease. Canis lupus familiaris

Evaluation of global expression patterns provides a molecular portrait of mitral valve disease, yields insight into the pathophysiologic aspects of DMVD, and identifies intriguing genes and pathways for further study. (Am J Vet Res 2006;67:1307–1318) Keywords: control vs diseased Overall design: 4 controls( beagle crosses) and 4 affected (1 Daschund, 1 Lhasa apso, 2 miniature poodles)
