Abstract
The expression level of a histamine-releasing factor (HRF) polynucleotide in a biological sample of a subject is measured and the HRF polynucleotide content is compared with that of a normal biological sample. An HRF polynucleotide expression level considerably higher than that of the normal biological sample is employed as an indication of a disease relating to endometriosis or a risk thereof.
