This is observed in endometriosis, as evidenced by Eidukaite et al. [11] through their flow cytometry results: endometriosis samples do not only contain decreased levels of CD56+ cytotoxic NK cells in peritoneal fluid, but also exhibit an increased presence of Fas antigen (CD95) and increased levels of early-activation molecules (i.e., CD69) in the initial stages of endometriosis (I/II). This evidence concerns the gene NCAM1 and endometriosis.
