Gene expression profile for ectopic vs. eutopic endometrium

ABSTRACT: Endometriosis is a common gynecological disorder characterized by pain and infertility, where the lesions disseminate everywhere in the body with a preference for the pelvis. In that, it could be regarded as a “benign metastatic disease”, since its issue is not fatal. However, the molecular bases of this intriguing clinical condition are not well known. The objective of this study is to characterize the transcriptome differences between eutopic vs ectopic endometrium with a special interest in pathways involved in cancerogenesis. We performed two hybridizations in technical replicate on highly specific long oligonucleotides microarrays (NimbleGen™), with cDNA prepared from 6-patients pools, where the same patient provided both eutopic and ectopic endometrium (endometriomas).
