Twenty-five reproductive-aged women with endometrial polyps underwent hysteroscopy. Samples were taken at the mid-secretory phase using hysteroscopic polypectomy and 4 months after polypectomy, and the change in mRNA expression levels of normalized HOXA10, HOXA11 and LIF genes were determined using Reverse Transcription Quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR). The results show that mRNA levels of HOXA10 and HOXA11 taken prior to surgery and 4 months after the complete hysteroscopic removal of polyps were not significantly different (P=0.79 and P=0.14, respectively). Moreover, a marked difference could not be obtained between preoperative and postoperative endometrial LIF mRNA expression levels (P=0.86). As a conclusion, these results indicate that mRNA levels of HOXA10, HOXA11 and LIF genes, three of molecular markers of endometrial receptivity, are not affected by hysteroscopic polypectomy.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessEndometrialpolypHomeobox A10Homeobox A11Hoxa10HOXA11 and LIFRT-qPCRArticle161951042-s2.0-84904556152N/A
