Validation of reference genes for the relative quantification of gene expression in human epicardial adipose tissue.

Relative quantification is a commonly used method for assessing gene expression, however its accuracy and reliability is dependent upon the choice of an optimal endogenous control gene, and such choice cannot be made a priori. There is limited information available on suitable reference genes to be...
