Association of PON2 and PON3 polymorphism with risk of developing cataract
Purpose: Paraoxonases (PON) are calcium bound enzymes offering protection against oxidative stress by working as endogenous free-radical scavenging molecules. Oxidative stress has been implicated in pathophysiology of many diseases including cataract. Lens opacity is an age related disorder which is...
