  ABSTRACT: Aim: To identify the correlation between mRNA expression of aromatase, 17β-HSD2 level of TGF-β1 and stage of endometriosis. Methods: Case control study was done on 80 patients divided by 40 endometriosis patients and 40 patients as control. mRNA expression of aromatase, mRNA 17β-SD2, was checked using reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and TGF-β1 serum and peritoneal fluid was checked using ELISA. Result: Level of mRNA aromatase from ectopic and eutopic endometrium increased significantly compared to control group (p TGF-β1 on endometriosis group was significantly higher compared to control group (p serum level to endometriosis stage. There are significant correlations between peritoneal fluid TGF-β1 levels to endometriosis stage.
