Proteomics in Peyronie's Disease - including a review of gene profiling in PD

This article isn't published yet, the abstract is from an electronic preprint:
Is There a Role for Proteomics in Peyronie's Disea...[J Sex Med. 2007] - PubMed Result

...This review assesses the potential use of protein alterations measured by various novel technologies, to predict progression, regression, or stabilization of PD in an affected individual. Methods. A comprehensive literature review of the past decade in the field of gene profiling and protein expression of PD was performed...
As I wrote a couple of days ago, even an area as understudied as Peyronie's can advance quickly when new instruments are brought to bear on old questions. Proteomics is all the rage in our post-genomic era, but besides the faddish topic the article claims to have reviewed the full literature on gene profiling in PD (of course that probably took about 3 hours).

This is one article I'm going to have to drag out of the university library -- once it's published!
