FZD7: A potential biomarker for endometriosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory, benign disorder that often co-occurs with adenomyosis and/or leiomyoma. The overall incidence of endometriosis in reproductive period women was nearly 10%. However, the exact mechanisms of endometriosis-associated pathogenesis are still unknown.

Methods

In this study, we aimed to investigate whether Frizzled-7 (FZD7) would effectively promote the development of endometriosis. The microarray-based data analysis was performed to screen endometriosis-related differentially expressed genes. This process uncovered specific hub genes, and the nexus of vital genes and ferroptosis-related genes were pinpointed. Then, we collected human endometrial and endometriotic tissues from patients with endometriosis of the ovary (n = 39) and
