Zusammenfassung
Background: The diagnosis of colon biopsy specimen is made by histology where the functional evaluation, genetic analysis of the samples can not be performed. Aim: To develop an mRNA expression analysis by low cost arrays and array technology which can contribute to an enhanced diagnosis. Materials and methods: Total RNA was extracted from healthy and diseased colonic biopsies from 10 patients with adenomatous polyps, 10 with colorectal adenocarcinoma and 10 with inflammatory bowel diseases (5 ulcerative colitis, 5 Crohn's disease). After quantity and quality control, the mRNA fraction was amplified by T7 RNA am…
