Zusammenfassung: | To evaluate an 8.7-kb mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) deletion as a potential biomarker of endometriosis.
We tested the diagnostic accuracy of the 8.7-kb deletion real-time PCR assay using 182 prospectively collected blood samples from females presenting with symptoms of endometriosis in a case–control format.
The assay differentiated between endometriosis and controls (area under curve: 0.74–0.89) with a statistically significant difference (p |
