Metabolic Diseases

Epistem is able to monitor gene expression in a range of different metabolic diseases. We are able to monitor specific genes or entire pathways that are known to be associated with metabolic diseases. We are also able to monitor the effects that drug treatment on gene expression in order to support drug development programs.

The range of samples that are compatible with Epistem gene expression analysis include:

• Single plucked hairs
• Whole blood and fractionated PBMCs
• CSF

Tissue and cellular samples:

• Biopsies
• Tissue extracts
• FFPE and LCM samples
• Single Cells
• Cell culture extracts

Assessments we can conduct

1. Microarray Assessments:

• Custom Arrays containing multiple probe sets for all specified genes or pathways of interest
• Optional inclusion of the entire human, mouse or rat genome

2. qPCR analysis:

• Any specified genes or pathways of interest
• Each primer set designed and QC'ed by Epistem

3. Information from our proprietary PathwayDirect™ database containing extensive information on samples analysed by Epistem.
