Alopecia areata

Investigation of Paraoxanase Enzyme Polymorphism in Patients with Alopecia Areata

DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2015.491
Synopsis: 
We investigated the relationship between alopecia areata (AA) and polymorphisms of paraoxanase 1 (PON1). Although the frequency of PON 55 L allel was higher in the patient group than control, there was no relation between the AA and both PON1 M/L55 and R/Q192 polymorphism.

ABSTRACT

Objective: In this study, we investigated the relationship between AA and genetic polymorphisms of PON1 R192Q and PON1 L55M.

Methods: One hundred and nineteen patients with AA and 104 healthy controls were included in this study. The changes in aminoacid squencies on codon 55 and 192 were analysed by the polymerase chain reaction and restriction enzymes.
