Abstract excerpt
A common polymorphism at codon 192 in the human paraoxonase (PON) 1 gene has been shown to be associated with increased risk for coronary heart disease (CHD) in Caucasian populations. However, these findings have not been reported consistently in all Caucasian and non-Caucasian populations, suggesting that this is not a functional mutation but may mark a functional mutation present in either PON1 or a nearby...
