Relation Between MicroRNA 203 and 210 and Sparing the Laparoscopic Examination in Cases of Unexplained Infertility

January 10, 2023 updated by: Amr Sharaf Eldein, Benha University

Plasma Levels of Micro RNA 203 and 210 Might Spare the Exploratory Laparoscopy in Case of un Explained Infertility With Suspected Endometriosis

The study targets to evaluate the role of estimation of plasma expression levels of gene of microRNAs 203 and 210 in helping to diagnose and grade endometriosis. The study included women with unexplained infertility and clinical picture suggestive of presence of endometriosis were divided randomly into two groups: Control and study groups. All patients underwent exploratory laparotomy for diagnosis and grading of endometriosis if present. Patients of study group gave blood samples for estimation of plasma expression levels of microRNA 203 and 210 using qRT-PCR procedure.
