Association of paraoxonase polymorphisms with carotid artery atherosclerosis in essential hypertension patients
, “Association of paraoxonase polymorphisms with carotid artery atherosclerosis in essential hypertension patients”, vol. 12, pp. 5174-5185, 2013.
We investigated the relationships between paraoxonase genetic polymorphisms and essential hypertension in carotid artery atherosclerotic patients. The study included 353 Han participants and 240 Uighur participants from Xinjiang; they were further divided into two groups: essential hypertension with carotid artery atherosclerosis (CAAD group) and essential hypertension without carotid artery atherosclerosis (control group). Genotypes were detected by PCR, followed by restriction analyses with specific endonucleases.
