Q192R polymorphism in the PON1 gene and familial hypercholesterolemia in a Saudi population

CONCLUSION: In conclusion, the Q192R polymorphism in the PON1 gene is associated with FH in the Saudi population. Our results confirmed that the R allele, QR, and dominant model genotypes were associated with FH. LIMITATION: Only a single variant (Q192R) was analyzed, and the medical and family histories of the patients were not known.
