VEGFA and endometriosis: Considering the importance and the role of miRNAs in pathogenesis as well as the diagnosis and progression of various diseases, and the importance of angiogenesis in the progression of endometriosis, the present study evaluated the differential expression of circulating miR-185-5p and predicted the downstream VEGF and PDGF target genes between endometriosis women and healthy controls using real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to provide evidence of the value of miR-185-5p as a new diagnostic biomarker for endometriosis.
