About this trial

Objectives:

To identify differentially expressed miRNAs in the blood of adenomyosis patients in view to develop new diagnostic methods

Hypotheses Circulating miRNAs may be abnormally expressed in patients suffering from adenomyosis and could be used to diagnose the disease

Study Design Blood samples will be collected from healthy subjects and adenomyosis patients and miRNAs will be isolated and analyzed to detect potential differences.
