Background: Women with uterine adenomyosis seeking assisted reproduction have been associated with compromised endometrial receptivity to embryo implantation. To understand the mechanisms involved in this process, we aimed to compare endometrial transcriptome profiles during the window of implantation (WOI) between women with and without adenomyosis.

Methods: We obtained endometrial biopsies LH-timed to the WOI from women with sonographic features of adenomyosis (n=10) and controls (n=10).

Background: Adenomyosis is a gynaecological condition with limited evidence of negative impact to endometrial receptivity. It is commonly associated with endometriosis, which has been shown to alter endometrial expression patterns. Therefore, the candidate genes identified in endometriosis could serve as a source to study endometrial function in adenomyosis.

Purpose: To synthesise data from genome-wide studies reporting molecular signature of eutopic endometrium through the phases of the menstrual cycle in endometriosis.

Methods: Extraction of data from publications reporting genetic signatures characterising endometrium associated with endometriosis. The nomenclature of extracted differentially expressed transcripts and proteins was adopted according to the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC).
