Abstract
The present study concerns a connection of the Q192RPON1 polymorphism with atherosclerosis requiring percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in the Polish population. A total of 282 individuals who underwent coronary angiography took part in this study. The polymorphism was determined with the PCR-RFLP method. The odds ratio for atherosclerosis in carriers of the 192RR genotype was 2.50 (p = 0.002). The median HDL-C concentration was significantly lower in the study group than the control group (p = 0.02). The presence of the 192RR genotype and 192R allele are indicative of at least a two-fold increased risk of atherosclerosis requiring PCI or CABG in the Polish population.
