Abstract

Normal cell functions are dictated by well regulated patterns of gene expression. Any insult that causes aberrant gene expression will disturb the homeostasis of a cell as a unit. Therefore, measurement of gene expression and the identification of genes that are abnormally expressed during a disease process may provide a clue to the understanding of the pathogenesis of complex human diseases which involve the interaction of genetic and environmental factors.
