Does Telomerase Activity Have an Effect on Infertility in Patients With Endometriosis ? Assessment of Telomerase Activity in Eutopic, Ectopic Endometrial Tissue and Serum
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Cystectomy, Endometrial sampling, and 2 other interventions for Endometriosis Ovaries and Infertility, Female. Completed, enrolled 47 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of the study was the detection of telomerase activity in eutopic, ectopic endometrial tissue and in peripheral blood and finding the correlation between the telomerase activity and clinic findings. With these results, confirmation of the hypothesis regarding the endometriosis pathogenesis and endometriosis-related infertility was aimed.

Timeline
Interventions
Segment of cystic wall from the patients for planned cystectomy was taken after operation and was preserved at -80º Celsius for further analysis
Endometrial sampling was performed at the same operation with the planned operation for the main indication and was preserved at -80º Celsius for further analysis
4 cc peripheric venous blood was sampled into the EDTA(Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid)-containing tubes during catheterization for anesthesia was preserved at 4º Celsius for further analysis
2cm linear tissue sample from ovarian cortex was performed at the same operation with the planned operation for the main indication and was preserved at -80º Celsius for further analysis
