Paraoxonase Gene Polymorphisms and Aortic Calcification

Paraoxonase Gene Polymorphisms and Aortic Calcification

Background: Aortic arch calcification is correlated with the extent of atherosclerosis and is a predictor of future cardiovascular risk. The paraoxonase (PON) gene can reduce the risk of atherosclerosis development. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between aortic arch calc...
