    Two independent PON1 variants, rs2057681 and rs854572, are major determinants of paraoxonase activity.

    Haplotype analysis showed that genetic configurations of PON1 variants are associated with dysglycemia and metabolic liver risk.

  • 3

    In carriers of the rs2057681 G allele, the C–A haplotype was linked to lower dysglycemia risk and higher Fibrotic NASH Index.

  • 4

    The same C–A haplotype in rs2057681 AA homozygotes was associated with increased metabolic liver risk.

  • 5

    PON1 genetic architecture influences metabolic risk beyond enzyme activity, highlighting the complexity of its role in cardiometabolic disease.
