To evaluate the influence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of CYP19A1 on the response and susceptibility to side effects from testosterone therapy. This is a prospective, single-arm study of men with low-morning serum testosterone (<10.68 nmol/l) administered testosterone cypionate 200 mg intramuscularly every 2 weeks for 18 months.
