Abstract excerpt
This review focuses on the functional genomics of the human paraoxonase (PON1) polymorphisms. Levels and genetic variability of the PON1 position 192 isoforms (Gln/Arg) influence sensitivity to specific insecticides or nerve agents and risk for cardiovascular disease. A more recent area of investigation, the role of PON1 in drug metabolism, is also discussed. We emphasize the importance of considering both PON1...
