  • Publication number: 20210230699
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and compositions that are useful for diagnosing the presence or absence of endometriosis and the severity of endometriosis in a subject. The methods and compositions are also useful for distinguishing endometriosis from other uterine or pelvic pathologies in a subject. Also described are sets of genes whose expression levels in a biological sample are diagnostic for endometriosis, and compositions useful for diagnosis, prognosis, and/or treatment of endometriosis.

  • Patent number: 11001892
    Abstract: The present invention provides biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of endometriosis. Generally, the methods of this invention find use in diagnosing or for providing a prognosis for endometriosis by detecting the expression levels of biomarkers, which are differentially expressed (up- or down-regulated) in endometrial cells from a patient with endometriosis. Similarly, these markers can be used to diagnose reduced fertility in a patient with endometriosis or to provide a prognosis for a fertility trial in a patient suffering from endometriosis. The present invention also provides methods of identifying a compound for treating or preventing endometriosis. Finally, the present invention provides kits for the diagnosis or prognosis of endometriosis.

  • Publication number: 20040005612
    Abstract: Genetic sequences are identified with expression levels that are upregulated or downregulated in human endometrium during the window of implantation. The endometrial signature of genes during the window of implantation provides diagnostic screening tests for patients with infertility and endometrial disorders, and endometriosis; and for targeted drug discovery for treating implantation-based infertility, other endometrial disorders, and endometrial-based contraception.
