Analyses of 1163 samples from the San Antonio Family Heart Study revealed several
elements of genetic control of lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) concentrations in Mexican Americans …

The reported general inverse relationship between apolipoprotein (a)(apo (a)) size and
plasma lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) concentrations was further characterized using 927 samples …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)(Lp [a]) is a cholesterol-rich lipoprotein resembling LDL but also
containing a large polypeptide designated apolipoprotein (a)(apo [a]). Its levels are highly …

Abstract Plasma lipoprotein [a](Lp [a]) concentrations are inversely associated with, and
largely determined by, apolipoprotein [a](apo [a]) gene size, a highly polymorphic trait. We …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) represents a quantitative trait in human plasma associated
with atherothrombotic disease. Large variation in the distribution of Lp (a) concentrations …

The distributions of plasma lipoprotein (a), or Lp (a), levels differ significantly among ethnic
groups. Individuals of African descent have a two-to threefold higher mean plasma level of …

The distribution of plasma lipoprotein [a](Lp [a]) concentrations, a risk factor for
cardiovascular disease, varies greatly among racial groups, with African Americans having …

Differences in lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] levels across populations have been described and
blacks are known to have higher Lp (a) values compared to whites. However, environmental …

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 low-density-like lipoprotein with the addition of a Lp (a)-
specific protein, apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)]. Plasma concentrations of Lp (a) are a risk factor …
