“…The M/L55 polymorphism is also a significant determinant of the serum concentration of paraoxonase [10]. Several casecontrol studies have shown a positive association between PON1 R192 allele and coronary heart disease, while several other studies have shown no association [11]. This study aims to investigate the effect of cigarette smoking on PON1 activity according to PON1 L55M and PON1 Q192R gene polymorphisms and the correlation between this parameter and two biological tobacco markers: plasma thiocyanate (SCN -) and cotininuria.…”

“…Low serum PON1 activity alleles are associated with a decreased transfer of lipids between lipoprotein particles (Ombres et al 1998). Conversely, several other studies inconsistent results regarding the link between PON1 Q192R polymorphism and CVD (Kallel et al, 2010). The RR genotype was more frequent in patients with CVD and was independently associated with the disease risk.…”

“…The authors reported lower levels of PON1 activity and a lower genotype RR frequency with significant statistic differences, compared to the Jewish population, suggesting that these findings could explain, partly, the higher risk for cardiovascular disease [17]. Kallel et al [18] found a higher R allele and RR genotype frequency in subjects with myocardial infarction, reporting an association between these factors and an increase in the risk for this pathology in Tunisian population. Other investigators, in India, found an association between the R allele and the coronary disease, as well.…”

“…The reason of this discrepancy is yet unclear, but it is possibly caused by differences in sample size, frequency of the polymorphisms in the population, and the study population. The biological mechanisms by which these polymorphisms could be associated to the disease are not clear yet and it is needed to develop more investigation trying to elucidate if paraoxonase is involved in preventing the lipid oxidation in the circulation and if there are other mechanisms involved in the physiopathology of the coronary artery disease [18]. For instance, it has been reported that Palestinian population have a higher frequency of the coronary disease and higher mortality associated than its Jewish population counterpart, with a higher frequency of diabetes and lower HDL levels.…”
