Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have shown association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 3 contiguous genes (PON1, PON2, and PON3) encoding paraoxonase with risk of Alzheimer disease (AD). We evaluated the association of serum paraoxonase activity measured by phenyl acetate (PA) and thiobutyl butyrolactone (TBBL) with risk of AD and with 26 SNPs spanning the PON gene cluster in 266 AD cases and 306 sibling controls...
