Background And Aims: The SNP rs662 in the paraoxonase 1 gene (PON1 Q192R) has been associated with obesity, dyslipidemia and cardiovascular risk. In this study, DNA samples of 117 children aged 6 to 12 years from San Luis Potosí, México were genotyped for Q192R polymorphism of the PON1 gene.

Methods: Genotypic frequencies were determined by allelic discrimination assay by real-time PCR using TaqMan fluorogenic probes. Anthropometry, lipid profile, glucose and insulin were analyzed by genotype.

Results: The distribution of allele frequency in the population was Q = 65 and R = 35 following the Hardy Weinberg equilibrium (χ(2) = 3.15, p = 0.076). The Homeostasis Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) index showed statistically significant differences among QQ/QR/RR genotypes (p = 0.032). The odds ratio for the carriers of the RR genotype was associated with HOMA-IR corresponding to the 95(th) percentile or higher for Mexican children based on sex and age (OR = 4.68; 95% confidence intervals, 1.23-17.8; p = 0.016). When the absolute mean of HOMAR-IR was set as the cutoff, an increased odds was observed (OR = 6.52; 95% confidence intervals, 1.68-25.3; p = 0.008).

Conclusions: According to our results, PON1 Q192R polymorphism is a risk marker for insulin resistance, a pathological factor involved in the development of metabolic syndrome.

Numerous studies have tried to evaluate the potential role of thrombophilia-related genes in retinal vein occlusion (RVO); however, there is limited research on genes related to different pathophysiological mechanisms involved in RVO. In view of the strong contribution of oxidative stress and inflammation to the pathogenesis of RVO, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the association of inflammation- and oxidative-stress-related polymorphisms from three different genes [] and the risk of RVO in a Greek population. Participants in this case-control study were 50 RVO patients (RVO group) and 50 healthy volunteers (control group).

Scope: The present study aims to assess the interaction of dietary patterns (DPs) and paraoxonase1 (PON1) rs662 polymorphism on coronary artery disease (CAD) severity and its risk factors.

Methods And Results: This cross-sectional study is conducted on 425 patients undergoing angiography. The PON1 genotypes are detected by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP-PCR) technique.
