We report studies of the association between genetic variation in PON2 and variation in plasma quantitative traits in a sample of 334 non-diabetic Oji-Cree. We detected associations between PON2 variation in codon 148 (Ala --> Gly) and variation in fasting plasma concentrations of total and low-d...
