Abstract
Whole-genome microarrays identify large numbers of gene expression changes that appear specifically related to disease states such as antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA) and systemic lupus erythematosus. Although understanding this enormous volume of esoteric data is difficult, a few basic concepts regarding microarray studies can significantly improve the general reader's comprehension.
