Gene expression analysis previously identified molecular markers that are up-regulated in
sural nerve biopsies from patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy
(CIDP). To determine whether the same or additional genes are also up-regulated in skin,
we applied gene microarray profiling and quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) analysis to skin
punch biopsies from patients with CIDP and controls. Five genes, allograft inflammatory
factor 1 (AIF-1), lymphatic hyaluronan receptor (LYVE-1/XLKD1), FYN binding protein (FYB) …
