Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: In the present study, we examined a possible association between the PON1 Q192R and L55M polymorphisms and myocardial infarction (MI) in a sample of the Tunisian population. DESIGN AND METHODS: Three hundred and ten patients with MI and 375 controls were recruited. Paraoxonase gene polymorphisms at codon 192 and 55 were analyzed by PCR-RFLP. RESULTS: Genotype distributions and allele frequencies of...
