To the Editor:

We would like to share ideas on “His452Tyr 5-HT(2A) polymorphism and intravaginal ejaculation latency time (IELT) in Dutch men with lifelong premature ejaculation (LPE) [1].” van Raaij et al. investigated 65 Dutch Caucasian men with LPE. In this study, His452Tyr polymorphism genotype analysis was done and the association between the genotypes and IELTs was further assessed [1]. According to the study, the CC, CT, and TT groups had no difference in mean IELT and the frequencies of alleles C and T were 90.8% and 9.2%, which are not different from those of controls (92.0% and 8.0%). van Raaij et al. noted that “no correlation was found between the His452Tyr polymorphism and IELT distribution in patients with LPE [1].” Effect of genetic factors on ejaculation latency time is interesting.
