Increased expression of fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 in endometriosis and its correlation with endometriosis-related dysmenorrhea and recurrence

This study aims to identify a critical molecule that potentially participates in endometriosis pathogenesis and characterize its correlation with dysmenorrhea and recurrence.We utilized a bioinformatics-based strategy to screen for candidate genes and fibroblast growth factor receptor 1(FGFR1) was chosen for further validation. FGFR1 expression was examined in specimens of ectopic and eutopic endometrium obtained from 48 patients with...
