Abstract

RNA and protein gene expression technologies are revolutionizing our view and understanding of human diseases and enable us to analyze the concurrent expression patterns of large numbers of genes. These new technologies allow simultaneous study of thousands of genes and their changes in regulation and modulation patterns in relation to disease state, time, and tissue specificity. This review summarizes the application of this modern technology to four common neurological and psychiatric disorders: HIV-1-associated dementia, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, and schizophrenia and is a first comparison of these diseases using this approach.
