Genome wide gene expression profiling of visceral adipose tissue among Asian Indian diabetics

Genes showing differential expression in visceral adipose tissue obtained from Asia Indian obese women suffering from type-2 diabetes mellitus as compared to age and BMI matched normal glucose tolerant women were identified by genome wide transcriptomic profiling in 5 diabetic and 5 control subjects respectively. In this study, omental biopsies were obtained from 5 diabetic and 5 control women undergoing cholecystectomy. All the subjects age > 55 years, BMI > 30, free from infection and malignancy. Expression profiling of 32878 probes for 29,098 genes was done in all participants. A matrix file containing both processed and raw data is linked below as a supplementary file.
