Paraoxonase 1 (PON1)-L55M among common variants in the coding region of the paraoxonase gene family may contribute to the glycemic control in type 2 diabetes

ConclusionsSex should be considered a confounding variable in association studies on the variants PON1-Q192R and PON2-A148G in T2D. Patients sharing the 55 M allele were prone to having good glycemic control. Our findings provide genetic evidence that the PON1-L55M variant may be a factor contributing to glycemic control.
