    Effect of Androgen Receptor Polymorphism on Hypogonadism Severity

    *Average number of CAG repeats found was 23 ± 3.1, which is within the normal range as described by current literature * Half of the patients (n=8) had [EF] subscores <14, indicating erectile dysfunction. However, Wilcoxon testing reveals that this difference is not significantly less than the...
