ORIGINAL RESEARCH-BASIC SCIENCE: The Associations among GNB3 C825T Polymorphism, Erectile Dysfunction, and Related Risk Factors

In the present study, DM, hypertension, and BMI had significant associations with GNB3 825T allele carriers. Our results failed to show a significant association of the GNB3 C825T polymorphisms with ED prevalence. However, we cannot exclude that the presence of the T allele might influence the risk for ED severity indirectly through an increased risk for some vascular diseases.
