RMA expression data for liver samples from subjects with HCV cirrhosis with and without concomitant HCC. Homo sapiens

In this study, we used the Affymetrix HG-U133A 2.0 GeneChip for deriving a multigenic classifier capable of predicting HCV+cirrhosis with vs without concomitant HCC. We studied gene expression in cirrhotic tissues with (N=16) and without (N=47) HCC. Keywords: cross-sectional Overall design: Liver tissue samples were obtained from patients waiting for liver transplantation. For each sample, RNA was extracted and hybridized to an Affymetrix GeneChip.
