Among multiple lncRNAs and mRNAs that are found to be dysregulated in endometriosis, ADAMTS-7, tumor protein p53 (Tp53), distal-less homeobox 3 (Dlx3), and pyrimidinergic receptor P2Y6 (P2ry6) proteins, which are co-expressed, were said to be associated with endometriosis-related inflammation and reproductive pathways (Cai et al., 2019). Here, DLX3 is linked to endometriosis.
