  1. 1. The genes listed include the top 1% of all transcripts with present calls, plus selected genes from the next 5% of the most abundant transcripts observed in all 15 arrays. The selected genes were chosen based on their previous documentation as hematopoietic/macrophage/immune cell markers and/or association with the CNS or neurodegenerative disease. For a complete list of gene transcript expression levels, probe sets, and genebank accession numbers please refer to supplemental information found at EMBL-EBI, accession E-MEXP-459 and in the additional file accompanying this paper.
