Abstract

Prothymosin expression is up-regulated in endometriotic tissue. This invention provides methods of diagnosing endometriosis by detecting up-regulation of a prothymosin gene product, and methods of treating endometriosis by down-regulating expression of prothymosin in ectopic or eutopic endometriotic tissue.
