title: Mitochondrial gene expression in granulosa cells of severe endometriosis with in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer.
abstract: The expression of mitochondrial genes in granulosa cells was quantitated by real-time polymerase chain reaction. The expression ratio of mitochondrial genes in granulosa cells of patients with severe endometriosis showed no statistically significant difference compared with cases of tubal infertility without endometriosis.
