Abstract excerpt
The 5.5 Mb chromosome 7q21-22 ACHE/PON1 locus harbours the ACHE gene encoding the acetylcholine hydrolyzing, organophosphate (OP)-inhibitable acetylcholinesterase protein and the paraoxonase gene PON1, yielding the OP-hydrolyzing PON1 enzyme which also displays arylesterase activity. In search of inherited and acquired ACHE-PON1 interactions we genotyped seven polymorphic sites and determined the hydrolytic...
