Differential Gene Expression in Post-Finasteride Syndrome Patients

Background An organic etiology underpinning post-finasteride syndrome, a constellation of persistent sexual, neuropsychiatric, and somatic symptoms reported by men exposed to 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors (5ARIs), is debated. Persistent changes in neurosteroid levels or androgen receptor expression have been implicated. Aim To determine whether differences in gene expression, especially in relevant biologic pathways, exist between patients...
