Little is known about the differences in ten-eleven translocation 1, 2, and 3 (TET1-3) expression in the endometrial phases in eutopic endometrium from infertile women with endometriosis (IWE) and fertile women without endometriosis (FW). U…

OBJECTIVES: The development of endometriosis is associated with changes in the expression of genes encoding the 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type II (HSD3B2) and 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type II (HSD17B2), estrogen receptors 1 (E…

OBJECTIVES: Genome-wide association studies in patients with endometriosis revealed ten significant single nucleo-tide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Caucasian population, which include rs12700667 near NFE2L3, rs12037376 in WNT4, rs7521902 nea…

An ovarian endometrioma is a very common form of endometriosis in women of reproductive age. This review presents the current state of research on ovarian reserve in women with ovarian endometriomas. Endometrioma can negatively affect ovari…

The causes of endometriosis remain unexplained. Studying the molecular mechanisms at the origin of the lesions leads to conclusions about the important role of the epigenome. This mini-review is a summary of the current state of knowledge a…

Endometriosis is considered to be an epigenetic disease. It has previously been reported that the DNA methyltransferase 3-like (DNMT3L) rs8129776 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) contributes to endometrioma. In the present study, high‑r…

Data suggests that dopamine receptor DRD2 gene variants may contribute to hyperprolactinemia and that they may be risk factors for endometriosis-related infertility. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether nucleotide varia…

It has recently been reported that vitamin D blood plasma levels are associated with reduced risk of endometriosis. The present study aimed to investigate whether the vitamin D binding protein (GC), vitamin D receptor (VDR), and retinoid X …

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is recognized as an estrogen-dependent disease. There are conflicting data demonstrating single nuclear polymorphisms (SNPs) of CYP17 and CYP19 steroidogenic genes as related to endometriosis risk. We assessed the C…

OBJECTIVE: Recently, the FCRL3 -169T>C (rs7528684) single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) has been demonstrated to be a risk factor of endometriosis related infertility. We studied whether the FCRL -169T>C SNP can be associated with endometri…

BACKGROUND: A decrease in HOXA11 expression in eutopic mid-secretory endometrium has been found in women with endometriosis-associated infertility. METHODS: Using Real-time quantitative PCR (RQ-PCR) and western blotting analysis we studied …

In fertile women, HOXA-10 and HOXA-11 expression rises during the luteal phase, with the peak occurring during the implantation window, and stays at a high level until the end of the cycle. We evaluated the transcript and protein levels of …

INTRODUCTION: HOXA genes are receptivity markers and their altered expression can help identify women with implantation defect. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to examine the expression pattern of HOXA11 and expression and localiz…

UNLABELLED: One of the problems associated with endometriosis is its high recurrence rate. The aim of the study was to assess the risk factors which might contribute to the recurrence of endometrial cysts after their surgical removal. MATER…
