Global peripheral blood gene expression study [HumanHT-12 V3.0]. Homo sapiens

Samples were collected from 'control participants' of the Heart and Vascular Health (HVH) study that constitutes a group of population based case control studies of myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, venous thromboembolism (VTE), and atrial fibrillation (AF) conducted among 30-79 year old members of Group Health, a large integrated health care organization in Washington State. Overall design: Total RNA was isolated from peripheral collected using PAXgene tubes and gene expression was profiled using the Illumina platform.
