Gene expression profiling by DNA microarrays. a and b Heat maps of differentially expressed transcripts in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from coronary heart disease (CHD) patients post coronary bypass grafting vs. control a and hyperlipidemia patients vs. control b. Total RNA was extracted from 2 million PBMCs (n = 7). Differentially expressed genes > 2.0-fold were further evaluated: c Venn diagram illustrating the eight genes up-regulated in the two patient groups; d List of the eight genes common to both patient groups
