Background: Over the past few decades, a number of studies have linked vitamin-D deficiency with ED (Erectile dysfunction) risk factors. There is a clear correlation between VD (vitamin-D) levels and ED, according to observational and interventional researches that have been reported in the literature. This crucial information encouraged scientists to investigate the impact of VD on erectile function in greater detail. The fact that vitamin D is a component of a healthy penis that begins in early life has just come to light, however there haven't been many research looking at the connection between vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism and erectile dysfunction. Objective: To evaluate the relationship between arteriogenic erectile dysfunction and the vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism. Subjects and Methods: Between October 2022 and October 2023, at Al-Azhar University Hospitals, 40 patients with arteriogenic ED and 40 healthy controls underwent informed consent, a detailed history, a physical examination, a penile duplex ultrasound and the extraction of peripheral blood to determine the type of polymorphism for each of the vitamin D receptors: FokI, BsmI, ApaI and TaqI by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results: There is no statistically significant association between arteriogenic erectile dysfunction and the vitamin D receptors (VDR) gene polymorphisms FokI, BsmI, ApaI and TaqI. Conclusion: Since there is no statistically significant association between the polymorphism of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene and arteriogenic erectile dysfunction, it is advised to investigate other VDR gene polymorphisms as well as alternative clinical subtypes of erectile dysfunction.
