BACKGROUND: Diagnosis of endometriosis is a challenge. The recent development of a saliva-based micro-ribonucleic acid (miRNA) signature for the diagnosis of endometriosis may enable a timelier and less invasive approach, but this requires …

RESEARCH QUESTION: Can a saliva-based miRNA signature for endometriosis-associated infertility be designed and validated by analysing the human miRNome? DESIGN: The prospective ENDOmiARN study (NCT04728152) included 200 saliva samples obta…

BACKGROUND: The discovery of a saliva-based micro–ribonucleic acid (miRNA) signature for endometriosis in 2022 opened up new perspectives for early and noninvasive diagnosis of the disease. The 109-miRNA saliva signature is the product of m…

The aim of our study was to describe the bioinformatics approach to analyze miRNome with Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) of 200 plasma samples from patients with and without endometriosis. Patients were prospectively included in the ENDO-m…

Endometriosis-a systemic and chronic condition occurring in women of childbearing age-is a highly enigmatic disease with unresolved questions. While multiple biomarkers, genomic analysis, questionnaires, and imaging techniques have been adv…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis diagnosis constitutes a considerable economic burden for the healthcare system with diagnostic tools often inconclusive with insufficient accuracy. We sought to analyze the human miRNAome to define a saliva-based d…

OBJECTIVE: To provide guidelines from the French College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (CNGOF), based on the best currently available evidence, for the prophylactic procedures associated with gynecological surgery for benign disease su…
