Abstract excerpt
Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) prevents oxidation of low-density lipoproteins and inactivates toxic oxon derivatives of organophosphate pesticides (OPs). More than 250 SNPs have been previously identified in the PON1 gene, yet studies of PON1 genetic variation focus primarily on a few promoter SNPs (-108, -162) and coding SNPs (192, 55). We sequenced the PON1 gene in 30 subjects from a Mexican-American birth cohort and...
