The paper reviews endometriosis as a gynecological disease affecting up to 10% of premenopausal women and a much larger fraction of women with infertility, noting that minimal and mild stages can be diagnosed unequivocally only invasively via laparoscopy. It surveys how “omics” methodologies have advanced the search for molecular biomarkers and summarizes biomarker discovery approaches and those with the highest reported diagnostic potential. A key limitation emphasized is the need for further development before biomarkers can be introduced into clinical practice, reflecting the current status of the field. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses on molecular biomarker options for non-invasive diagnostics and discusses the progress and clinical readiness of endometriosis biomarker discovery.

Abstract

Endometriosis is a common gynaecological disease defined as a presence of endometrial like tissue outside the uterine cavity. Estimates show that this disease affects up to 10% of premenopausal women and 35%-50% of women with infertility. At present minimal and mild stages of endometriosis can only be unequivocally diagnosed invasively, using laparoscopy. There is thus an urgent need for discovery of biomarkers for non-invasive diagnosis. With the introduction of ‘omics’ methodologies, we have witnessed immense progress in the field of biomarkers of endometriosis. This manuscript overviews different approached for discovery of biomarkers and presents the biomarkers with the highest diagnostic potential. Current status in the field of endometriosis biomarker discovery and potential for their introduction into clinics are discussed.
