Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the relationship between polymorphisms of the paraoxonase (PON) gene and the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) in Taiwanese patients. METHODS: Our sample set included 369 volunteers, classified into two groups: 162 healthy volunteers and 207 CAD patients aged 60.0 ± 9.7 and 64.3 ± 12.3 years, respectively.
