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 …

Lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) is an independent, genetically regulated cardiovascular risk factor. Lp
(a) plasma levels are largely determined by the apolipoprotein (a)(apo (a)) component, and …

Apolipoprotein [a](apo [a]) gene size is a major predictor of lipoprotein [a] level. To
determine genetic predictors of allele-specific apo [a] levels beyond gene size, we evaluated …

Heritability of LPA allele, apo (a) isoform sizes, and isoform-associated lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)]
levels was studied in 82 Caucasian and African-American families with two parents and two …

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

Summary Apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)] exhibits a genetic size polymorphism explaining about
40% of the variability in lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] concentration in Tyroleans. Lp (a) …

We have developed a sensitve, high-resolution method for the analysis of the apolipoprotein
(a)[apo (a)] isoforms using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-agarose/gradient polyacrylamide …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is a quantitative genetic trait in human plasma associated
with atherothrombotic disease. The major determinant of Lp (a) concentration is the …

Apolipoprotein [a] polymorphism has been investigated by sodium dodecyl sulfate
polyacrylamide (5.37%) gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting using a standardized …

Genetic polymorphism at the apolipoprotein (a) structural locus was investigated in 203
American blacks using a high-resolution SDS-agarose electrophoresis method followed by …
