From: Identification of Marker Genes for Differential Diagnosis of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Relative expression of 10 marker genes in patients with CFS by microarray and real-time PCR. RNA prepared from 11 patients with CFS and age- and sex-matched healthy controls was subjected to TaqMan real-time PCR as described in the method section. Of the 12 genes, 10 mRNA levels were measured and then normalized to GAPDH mRNA expression. After the relative ratios of 10 mRNAs between CFS patients and control subjects were calculated, they were compared between microarray (empty bars) and real time PCR results (solid bars). Values are mean fold changes ± SD (n = 11). #P < 0.05 by the paired t test.
