## Abstract Paraoxonase 1 (PON 1) is a highβdensity lipoprotein (HDL)βassociated enzyme with antioxidant function protecting lowβdensity lipoprotein (LDL) from oxidation. PON 1 has two amino acid polymorphisms in coding region; L/M 55 and Q/R 192. These polymorphisms modulate paraoxonase activity o
## Abstract ## Objective To evaluate the relationship between polymorphisms in the gene coding for mannoseβbinding lectin (MBL) and the occurrence of coronary artery lesions (CALs) among different age groups of patients with Kawasaki disease. ## Methods The frequencies of the genotypes, defined
