Intracerebral Hemorrhage Induces Inflammatory Gene Expression in Peripheral Blood: Global Transcriptional Profiling in Intracerebral Hemorrhage Patients

To perform global transcriptome profiling using RNA-seq in the peripheral blood of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients. In 11 patients with ICH, peripheral blood was collected within 24 h of symptom onset or last known well, and a second blood draw occurred 72 h (±6) after the first. RNA-seq identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the first and second samples. Biological pathway enrichment analysis was performed with Ingenuity
