HOX gene expression is altered in the endometrium of women with endometriosis
1 May 1999
Abstract excerpt
HOXA10 and HOXA11 are homeobox genes that function as transcription factors essential to embryonic development. We have recently described a role for each of these two genes in regulating endometrial development in the adult during the course of a menstrual cycle.
