Identification of endometriosis-associated genes and pathways based on bioinformatic analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Abstract

Endometriosis is associated with dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and infertility. The specific mechanism of endometriosis remains unclear. The aim of this study was to apply a bioinformatics approach to reveal related pathways or genes involved in the development of endometriosis.The gene expression profiles of GSE25628, GSE5108, and GSE7305 were downloaded from the gene expression omnibus (GEO) database. Differentially expressed gene (DEG) analysis was performed using GEO2R. The database for annotation, visualization, and integrated discovery (DAVID) was utilized to analyze the functional enrichment, gene ontology (GO) and kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway of the differentially expressed genes. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constr
