Abstract
Endometriosis is a debilitating gynecologic disorder characterized by chronic pelvic pain, pelvic adhesions and infertility. The gold standard diagnostic modality is histologically by tissue biopsy, although it can be diagnosed empirically if symptoms improve with medical treatment. A delayed diagnosis of endometriosis often leads to a significant impairment in quality of life and work productivity; hence, significant morbidity has been shown to bear a detrimental impact on society and the economy. The ongoing novel investigation into biomarkers for diagnostic or prognostic evaluation of endometriosis may aid in earlier detection, and thereby, improve patient quality-of-life as well as minimize morbidity. Currently, no single biomarker has been validated for endometriosis; however, there are emerging data on the utility of microRNA for diagnosis and prognosis of disease activity. In this brief review, we will identify and categorize the novel biomarkers for endometriosis.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
