The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression of microRNA (miR)-93, miR-320 and miR-16 and to assess their diagnostic value in diabetic patients with erectile dysfunction (ED). A total of 120 individuals were divided into three groups, which included the diabetics with ED group (ED group), the diabetics without ED group (NED group) and the healthy volunteers group (control group). Each group included 40 individuals. Serum samples were collected and reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction detection of the three types of miRNA was performed and the sensitivity of ED was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curves. A negative correlation was identified between the incidence of ED in patients with diabetes and serum total testosterone levels (r=0.302, P
