Furthermore, miR-451 was found to be the most highly downregulated in the mid-secretory phase of eutopic endometrium of baboons (346) and women with endometriosis (347) compared to controls, leading to an increased expression of transcription factors involved in regulation and mediation of progesterone signaling such as GATA2 and YWHAZ. This evidence concerns the gene YWHAZ and endometriosis.
