Background: Only a few studies have focused on the possible modulatory role of paraoxonase 1 (PON1) polymorphisms in lipid profiles, especially in children and in adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Objective: We propose to study the association between PON1 polymorphisms (PON1-55 and PON1-192) and a lipid profile in a young Tunisian population with T1D.
Methods: The study compared 122 children and adolescents with T1D with 97 controls. Genomic DNA was collected from 116 patients and 91 controls. Lipid parameters were determined by automated methods. PON1 activity was measured by a spectrophotometric method and genotyping of the PON1 gene was assessed by multiplex polymerase chain reaction followed by restriction fragment-length polymorphism.
Results: A significant increase in total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), apolipoprotein B (ApoB), and lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)) and a significant decrease in apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1), ApoA1/ApoB ratio, and PON1 activity/HDL-C ratio were observed in children with T1D compared with controls. In the LLQR haplotype, the group with diabetes showed significantly higher values of total cholesterol, LDL-C, apoB, Lp(a), and apoA1/apoB ratio compared with the control group. Those with diabetes with the LLQQ haplotype showed a significant decrease in LDL-C and Lp(a) compared with controls (P < .0001).
Conclusion: PON1 polymorphisms (PON1-55 and PON1-192) seem to be involved in the altering the lipid profile in T1D. The LLQR haplotype provided an atherogenic lipid profile in children with T1D compared with controls. LLQQ haplotype seemed to have a protective effect against the increase in LDL-C and Lp(a) that are heavily involved in the development of cardiovascular diseases.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of clopidogrel-related gene polymorphisms on the occurrence of recurrent thrombotic events and cardiovascular death in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: We conducted genotype testing for 26 specific loci mapped to 18 clopidogrel-associated genes in ACS patients who had undergone PCI and were receiving dual antiplatelet therapy only involving clopidogrel. We documented major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and clinical endpoints, analyzing the effect of genetic polymorphisms on treatment outcomes.

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a multifactorial polygenic disease that develops as a result of a complex interaction of numerous genetic factors and the external environment. Accordingly, the contribution of each of them separately is usually not large and may significantly depend on the state of other accompanying factors. The purpose of the study was to search for informative predictors of MI risk based on polygenic analysis of polymorphic variants of (1) the antioxidant defense enzyme genes PON1 (rs662), PON2 (rs7493), CAT (rs1001179), MSRA (rs10098474) and GSTP1 (rs1695); (2) the apoptosis genes CASP8 (rs3834129), TP53 (rs1042522) and BCL2 (rs12454712); and (3) the inflammation genes CRP (rs1205), CX3CR1 (rs3732378), IL6 (rs1800795) and CCL2 (rs1024611).

PON1 is a Ca-dependent enzyme that indicates a hydrolytic activity towards a broad spectrum of substrates. The mechanism of hydrolysis catalyzed by this enzyme is poorly understood. It was shown that the active site of PON1 is highly dynamic.
