  Recent studies have indicated the crucial role of the immune system in the pathogenesis and progression of Endometriosis (EM). This study aims to identify the signature of immune cell infiltration and the immune-related diagnostic biomarkers of EM through multi-bioinformatics analysis. Through the xCell algorithm calculating the common dataset of EM, we found that macrophages and neutrophils constitute the most infiltrating immune cells in the endometrium tissue. We identified 816 Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs) between EM lesions and normal endometrium. We also constructed the Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) to identify the immune-related hub module. The Venn diagram of the hub module, DEGs, and the immune-related genes identified four immune-related hub genes of EM (TNFSF13B, IL7R, CSF1R, and LEP), which were all significantly up regulated in the lesions o..
