Gene expression microarray analysis of early oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR)

Different inbred strains of rats differ in their susceptibility to OIR, an animal model of human retinopathy of prematurity. We examined gene expression profiles in Fischer 344 (F344, resistant to OIR) and Sprague Dawley (SD, susceptible to OIR) rats at the early time point of day 3 to identifying gene pathways related to the underlying genetic cause of phenotypic differences between strains.
