Abstract excerpt
We recently reported that oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of coronary spasm. We hypothesized that oxidative-stress-related genetic factors and certain polymorphisms in the paraoxonase gene (PON1) and platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) might influence the pathogenesis of coronary spasm. We therefore examined the possible association between the PON1 Q192R or PAF-AH V279F...
