Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC) Gene Expression-Based Biomarkers in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA)

Aim: To discovery biomarkers in JIA base on gene expression from RNA sequencing on PBMC Method: Paired-end Ilumina sequencing to capture gene expression of PBMC from JIA individuals and healthy controls Results:sample heterogeneity makes RNA sequencing on PBMC unsuitable as a first-step method for screening biomarker candidates in JIA RNA sequencing on PBMC of 3 independent cohorts consist of JIA patients and healthy controls
