A member asked:
How would the results be different using rna from the prostate fluid or other random body fluid vs blood on a whole genome microarray?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No difference.: You only have one set of chromosomes, and they dictate what is seen throughout your entire body. There would be no difference no matter what body fluid is used to determine your genome.
