The Relation Between MiR-125b-5p and Staging of Endometriosis
- Conditions
- Endometriosis
- Interventions
- Diagnostic Test: Blood samplingProcedure: laparoscopic examination
- Registration Number
- NCT05556213
- Lead Sponsor
- Tanta University
- Brief Summary
78 endometriosis patients presented with infertility were clinically examined and the diagnosis was assured by US imaging. The study also included 11 control fertile women free of gynecological problems as a control for lab tests. Patients and controls gave blood samples for lab investigations. All patients underwent diagnostic abdominal laparoscopy under general anesthesia for disease staging. Quantitative determination of expression levels of genes of microRNA-125b-5p and 203a was conducted using qRT-PCR.
