ABSTRACT: Introduction
Paraoxonases are a group of different forms enzymes that consist of three non-similar isoforms, PON1, PON2 and PON3, which are located near to each other on the long arm of chromosome7. This study aims to investigate the association of a Q192R polymorphism of PON1 gene and statin response in patients with ischemic heart disease with dyslipidemia.Methods
The studied population included three hundred patients with coronary artery disease with dyslipidemia who were prescribed statins. Total lipid profile was measured in these patients both before and after approximately 6 months of treatment. Q192R polymorphism of PON1 gene was assessed by real-time PCR.Results
There were no significant differences in baseline lipid levels according to different genotypes in all studied casesof Q192R (rs662) polymorphism. HDL-C goals were attained less often in patients with RR homozygosity than in Q allele carriers. Analysis by univariate logistic regression confirmed that QQ/QR carriers had an increased chance of attaining HDL-C goals.Conclusion
This study shows that the Q192R polymorphism of PON1gene has important role in interindividual variety in accomplishment of HDL-C goals in response to statins.
