Their expression levels vary under different experimental conditions and because of several inherent characteristics. Appropriate reference gene selection is thus critical for gene-expression studies. This study aimed at selecting optimal reference genes for gene-expression analysis of reticulocytes and at validating them in hereditary spherocytosis (HS) and ¦Â-thalassemia intermedia (¦ÂTI) patients. %U https://jmd.amjpathol.org/article/S1525-1578(17)30431-2/fulltext
