Abstract excerpt
Low serum paraoxonase1 (PON1) activity determined by paraoxon substrate is associated with coronary heart disease (CHD), diabetes and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) risk. In this investigation, we have examined the role of genetic variation in the PON3 gene in relation to PON1 activity and SLE risk in a biracial sample comprising 377 SLE patients and 482 controls from US whites and blacks. We genotyped six...
