Abstract excerpt
The human paraoxonase gene (HUMPONA) is codominantly expressed as alleles A and G. The A allele codes for glutamine (A genotype) and the G allele for arginine (B genotype) at position 191 of the paraoxonase enzyme. This genetic polymorphism has been suggested to be associated with the predisposition to coronary artery disease (CAD). We investigated the frequency of paraoxonase A and G alleles in 380...
