Telomeres Evaluation in Endometriosis

NCT01809561 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 30

Last updated 2013-04-09

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of the study is to assess the telomere array of different endometriosis tissue and endometrium from women with endometriosis compared to healthy women.

Our hypothesis is that telomere shortening and high telomerase activity will be found in tissues from women with endometriosis.

Conditions

  • Endometriosis

Interventions

PROCEDURE

tissue biopsy during surgical treatment

The samples collected will test for histological diagnosis of endometriosis and verification tests will be done to characterize the telomeres array and telomerase levels and other characteristics for genomic instability such as spontaneous aneuploidy.
