Abstract:Objective To investigate the relationship of the polymorphism of locus rs662, rs3917541, and rs3917539 of PON1 gene with the risk of Kawasaki disease (KD) and the complications of coronary artery damage (CAL).Methods There were 93 patients with KD and 94 healthy subjects in this study. The polymorphism of locus rs662, rs3917541, and rs3917539 of PON1 gene were detected by polymerase chain reaction-sequence based typing (PCR-SBT) method.Results For the polymorphism of locus rs662, rs3917541, and rs3917539 of PON1 gene, there were no significant differences between KD patients and the controls in genotype frequencies and allele frequencies (P > 0.05), and there were no significant differences between KD patients with CAL and without CAL in genotype and allele frequencies (P > 0.05).Conclusions No association was found between the polymorphisms of locus rs662, rs3917541, and rs3917539 of PON1 gene and the risk of KD or its complication of CAL in this study.
