A comprehensive search of the MEDLINE-PubMed database was conducted from inception to 28 April 2023, and a total of 67 eligible articles were selected. Data on 451 genes were extracted and analysed using a custom scoring system, revealing a strong association between altered seminal parameters and the expression of nine mRNA: <em>AKAP4, DDX4, PGK2, PIWIL1, PRM1, PRM2, TNP1, TNP2</em> and <em>PLCZ1</em>. Notably, aberrant expression of <em>PLCZ1, PRM1, PRM2</em> and <em>PIWIL1</em> was closely linked with reduced ART success rates. These findings suggest that these genes constitute a panel of the most prominent biomarkers of broader transcriptomic changes, potentially reflecting disruptions in spermatogenesis.

The pathogenesis explaining the migration, persistence, proliferation and differentiation of ectopic endometrial cells includes a genetic and epigenetic background, an oestrogen/progesterone receptor imbalance and an inflammatory reaction driven by local immune dysfunction, along with fibrosis and neuroangiogenesis within the myometrium. In the past, it was thought that adenomyosis almost exclusively affected multiparous women after 40 years of age and the diagnosis was generally confirmed upon hysterectomy. Nowadays, using imaging techniques such as transvaginal ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging, adenomyosis is increasingly identified in young women with dysmenorrhoea, dyspareunia, abnormal uterine bleeding and heavy menstrual bleeding, and also in infertile patients. Furthermore, adenomyosis often coexists with other gynaecological conditions, such as endometriosis and uterine fibroids. Despite the improvement of non-invasive diagnostic tools, the awareness of the condition is still poor and the diagnosis is often missed, due also to a heterogeneity in clinical presentation and imaging criteria.
