Clinical Trial Summary

OBJECTIVES : 1. To investigate the expression pattern of miRNAs operational in inflammation, angiogenesis, hypoxia, apoptosis and cell proliferation in eutopic and ectopic endometrium of patients with endometriosis and normal endometrium of healthy controls. 2. To understand the function of candidate predictive miRNAs for endometriosis by investigating their downstream targets and associated biological pathways. 3. Evaluation of significant outcome of objective 1 in serum samples to establish them as biomarkers. Study Design: Case control study. sample size: 200

Description:

METHODOLOGY : 1 Investigator will take Both blood and tissue samples used to study them. 2. Investigator will take approximately 3 ml of blood which will be used from the blood sample collected for routine preoperative tests (Surgical profile) before their planned surgery. 3.Small tissue samples will be taken from the tissue which is surgically excised as a part of treatment. 4. It will include tissue from inner lining of uterus (endometrium) in all participants and from excised endometriosis tissue in patients with endometriosis.

Intervention

Procedure:
• 100 women undergoing surgery (laparoscopy / laparotomy) with presumed diagnosis of endometriosis
We Will take Both blood and tissue samples used to study them. We Will take approximately 3 ml of blood which will be used from the blood sample collected for routine preoperative tests (Surgical profile) before their planned surgery. Small tissue samples will be taken from the tissue which is surgically excised as a part of treatment. It will include tissue from inner lining of uterus (endometrium) in all participants and from excised endometriosis tissue in patients with endometriosis.
• women with intraoperative and / or histopathology findings suggestive of endometriosis
We Will take Both blood and tissue samples used to study them. We Will take approximately 3 ml of blood which will be used from the blood sample collected for routine preoperative tests (Surgical profile) before their planned surgery. Small tissue samples will be taken from the tissue which is surgically excised as a part of treatment. It will include tissue from inner lining of uterus (endometrium) in all participants and from excised endometriosis tissue in patients with endometriosis.
