Comparison of Apoptotic Gene Expression Profiles Between Peyronie's Disease Plaque and Tunica Albuginea

Abstract

Background. The fibrotic plaques of Peyronie's disease and other localized fibrotic conditions have been considered to be the result of an abnormal wound healing process. The potential role of regulatory disorders of apoptosis in abnormal wound healing may also play a role in the development of Peyronie's disease.
