Genetic Testing
Study Objective
-
Peyronie's Disease is thought to be due to a genetic abnormality which leads to disordered healing
-
One of the key first steps in being able to diagnose and treat Peyronie's Disease is identifying which genes are implicated in PD
-
This goal of this study would be to identify several potential genes which may be linked to PD
Study Details

A total of 40 men who are interested in enrolling would provide blood samples for genetic analysis
-
Men would also be asked to discuss whether their brothers, sons, or fathers also exhibited Peyronie's Disease
-
Blood from immediate family members (particularly those with Peyronie's Disease) would also be requested
Who May Participate
-
Men with confirmed Peyronie's Disease
-
Must be willing to discuss the condition with immediate family members and request blood samples from those family members
Finances and Remuneration
