**3. Evidence for the Role of lncRNAs in Endometriosis**

The evidence for the role of lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of endometriosis has been largely uncovered by using high-throughput screening technologies to detect differences between control and disease cohorts from either patient samples or animal models. Selected lncRNAs identified using these approaches were then subjected to further validation experiments to confirm their role. Below, we discuss the current evidence, most of which is derived from genome-wide genomic or transcriptomic studies.
