FIGURE 4.
Identification of differentially expressed genes in PBMCs obtained from patients with the DLL1 defect or controls. Cell pellets harvested from PBMCs of patients or controls were used for RNA extraction and the subsequent qRT-PCR analysis. Upregulated (A) and downregulated (B) genes in patients versus controls. The ΔΔCt analysis was performed using the SDS 5.4 (Applied Biosystems). GAPDH was used as a reference control for all analyses. Data are presented as means ± SEM. Data were analyzed using the paired t-test. ∗P < 0.05 vs. control.
