Abstract excerpt
HDL-associated paraoxonase1 (PON1) is believed to be an important anti-oxidative enzyme in the retardation of atherosclerosis. In this study, we determined haplotypes of three SNPs within the PON1 gene promoter to elucidate association of functional sites with coronary artery disease (CAD). We applied a direct haplotyping procedure through ARMS (Amplification Refractory Mutation System) and RFLP (Restriction...
