Activating mutations of genes in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway and ovarian reserve status in patients of reproductive age with deep infiltrating endometriosis
Abstract:Objective. To study the effect of deep infiltrating endometriosis on the status of ovarian reserve in patients of reproductive age and to assess the spectrum of PIK3CA gene mutations among patients with infiltrating form of external genital endometriosis. Patients and methods. The study group included 50 patients of reproductive age with deep infiltrating endometriosis, of whom 18 had deep infiltrating endometriosis combined with ovarian endometriomas. The comparison group included 25 patients of reproductive … Show more
