1 PON1 Q192R and L55M polymorphisms and organophosphate toxicity risk: a meta-analysis. Organophosphates paraoxonase 1 Homo sapiens
2 Serum paraoxonase (PON1) is an esterase that is involved in the detoxification of organophosphate insecticides. Organophosphates paraoxonase 1 Homo sapiens
3 Emerging lines of evidence have shown that functional polymorphisms in the PON1 gene might play a critical role in increasing susceptibility to organophosphate toxicity, but individually published studies showed inconclusive results. Organophosphates paraoxonase 1 Homo sapiens
4 This meta-analysis aimed to derive a more precise estimation of the associations between the PON1 polymorphisms and organophosphate toxicity risk. Organophosphates paraoxonase 1 Homo sapiens
5 The meta-analysis results showed that the PON1 192Q and 55L polymorphisms may increase the risk of organophosphate toxicity. Organophosphates paraoxonase 1 Homo sapiens
6 Further subgroup analyses by ethnicity showed significant associations of the PON1 192Q and 55L polymorphisms with increased risk of organophosphate toxicity among the Caucasian populations. Organophosphates paraoxonase 1 Homo sapiens
7 In conclusion, the current meta-analysis indicates that the PON1 192Q and 55LM polymorphisms may increase the risk of organophosphate toxicity, especially among the Caucasian populations. Organophosphates paraoxonase 1 Homo sapiens
