PON1L55M AND Q192R  GENE POLYMORPHISMS IN CORONARY HEART DISEASE
Elevated Low density lipoprotein (LDL) / High density lipoprotein (HDL) ratio is a risk factor for predicting coronary artery disease (CAD). Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) is a HDL associated serum enzyme. PON1 protects LDL from oxidative modifications and thus has a protective effect against CAD progression. There are two common polymorphisms, Q192R and L55M, in PON1 gene. There may be a ... Read more
