Elevated levels of TRAb IgG autoantibodies are not recognized in endometriosis by the current clinical methods
The available tests in clinical routine could not reveal elevated levels of TRAb in the current exploratory study. Thus, TRAb cannot yet be used clinically as a biomarker of endometriosis. Still, other variants of antibody tests may be used in a laboratory experimental setting. The role of TSH receptors and TRAb in the pathophysiology of endometriosis deserves further research.
