Validation of gene expression data of stromal cells by real-time RT-PCR. Comparison of gene expression obtained from real-time RT-PCR (black bars) and microarray experiments (gray bars) for four select genes (names indicated at bottom) in stromal cells of MDS-RARS patients and of healthy individuals. The positive and negative fold change values indicate up- or down-regulation of expression in MDS-RARS patients in relation to the expression in healthy individuals, respectively.
