You definitely want to account for the intra-patient dependence
structure somehow. One way would be to do a paired t-test. The other way
would be to do a linear mixed model-ish thing using
duplicateCorrelation() to capture the intra-patient correlation.
There have been numerous posts about the latter, and if I am not
mistaken there is an example in the Limma User's Guide as well.
Best,
Jim
