A high plasma concentration of lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] has been suggested as a risk factor for
coronary heart disease (CHD), but some recent prospective studies have questioned the …

Objectives Observational and genetic studies have shown that lipoprotein (a)[L p (a)] levels
and apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)] isoform size are both associated with coronary heart disease …

LPA, the gene coding for apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)], is the major determinant of lipoprotein
(a)[Lp (a)] plasma levels, which are associated with risk for coronary heart disease (CHD) …

Abstract A size polymorphism (K IV VNTR) and largely unknown sequence variation in the
apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)] gene on chromosome 6q26–q27 together determine most of the …

Background—Serum lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] concentration is largely determined by variability
at the apolipoprotein (a) gene locus. Most prominent effects relate to polymorphisms in the …

Elevated levels of plasma lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] have been correlated with the development
of atherosclerosis in human populations. Apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a); the distinguishing …

Abstract High lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] concentrations are one of the most important genetically
determined risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Lp (a) concentrations are an enigmatic …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is a quantitative trait in human plasma. Lp (a) consists of a
low-density lipoprotein and the plasminogen-related apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)]. The apo (a) …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is a complex of apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)] and low-density
lipoprotein which is associated with atherothrombotic disease. Lp (a) plasma levels are …

Most of the Interindividual variations in plasma levels of lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] can be
attributed to sequence differences linked to the apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)] locus. Plasma …
