title: TAGLN expression is deregulated in endometriosis and may be involved in cell invasion, migration, and differentiation.
abstract: We found an increased expression of the TAGLN gene in endometriotic lesions compared with the eutopic endometrium of the same patients by real-time polymerase chain reaction. It is possible that this deregulation contributes to the development and maintenance of endometriosis by being involved in the pathways of organization of cytoskeletal architecture.
