Unexpected "cancer-related" mutations in "non-cancerous" endometriosis: Do they predict aggressiveness?
A collaborative study supported by Endometriosis Foundation of America, have identified the molecular alterations of deep infiltrating endometriosis trough a wide protein coding genetic-alphabet order study. Molecular alterations, specifically cancer-related gene mutations, have been identified.
