This paper is a review that examines how aberrantly repressed microRNAs (miRNAs) and related epigenetic mechanisms contribute to the pathogenesis of endometriosis, a common estrogen-dependent condition affecting reproductive-age women. It synthesizes recent findings on repressed miRNAs and summarizes their potential roles in endometriosis-associated biological processes, while explicitly framing the evidence as accumulating rather than definitive. A major caveat noted through the review format is that it compiles existing research findings rather than presenting new experimental data or establishing causal relationships. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically the roles of aberrantly repressed microRNAs and epigenetic dysregulation in its pathogenesis.
