Gene Expression Signature in Peripheral Blood as a Marker of Parkinson’s Disease

In this application, five genes were selected based on the results of past global gene expression studies, and a qPCR validation study was performed on samples taken from an independent subset of patients with Parkinson ’s disease and matched controls. The qPCR experiment was designed and prepared using the PIPETMAX® qPCR Assistant software and the PIPETMAX 268 automated pipetting instrument.
