Endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphisms and erectile dysfunction in chronic pain.


ABSTRACT: Objectives:To investigate whether endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) T786C, 4VNTR and G894?T gene polymorphisms could mediate in andrological treatment response in Spaniards. Subject patients/methods:The study participants were Spaniard males with erectile dysfunction (ED) and chronic pain (n?=?105) recruited at the Pain Unit. eNOS polymorphisms were genotyped by quantitative polymerase chain reaction using Taqman specific probes. Statistical analyses were carried out using R-3.2.4 software. Results:A total of 69 patients required andrological treatment and 76% of them improved ED upon iPED5 (20%), testosterone (35%) or iPDE5/testosterone treatment (45%); being significantly better in T786C-CC patients. Multivariate regression analysis indicated that age, opioid daily dose and carriage of T786C-C allele influenced the risk and ED severity in Spaniard chronic pain patients. Conclusion:T786C polymorphism at eNOS locus appeared to be a major contributor in the variable erectile function iPDE5/testosterone response in Spaniards.
