Abstract Lipoprotein (a), Lp (a), is a modified low-density lipoprotein particle that contains
apolipoprotein (a), encoded by LPA, and is a highly heritable, causal risk factor for …

Lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) is an important causal cardiovascular risk factor, with serum Lp (a)
levels predicting atherosclerotic heart disease and genetic determinants of Lp (a) levels …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Lp
(a) levels in African Americans (AAs) are much higher compared with that in European …

Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] concentrations are among the strongest genetic risk factors for
cardiovascular disease and present pronounced interethnic and interindividual differences …

Background—Functional copy number variation in the apolipoprotein (a) gene (LPA)
underlies a variable number of protein kringle domains repeated in tandem in the lipoprotein …

High lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] concentrations are an independent risk factor for cardiovascular
outcomes. Concentrations are strongly influenced by apo (a) kringle IV repeat isoforms. We …

Background The concentrations of the highly atherogenic lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] are mainly
genetically determined by the LPA gene locus. However, up to 70% of the coding sequence …

Plasma lipoprotein (a)(Lp [a]) level is an independent risk factor of cardiovascular disease
that is under strong genetic control. We conducted a genome-wide association study of …

Objective: Lp (a)(lipoprotein [a]) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases
and plasma levels are primarily determined by variation at the LPA locus. We performed a …

Background: Lp (a)(lipoprotein [a]) levels are higher in individuals of African ancestry (AA)
than in individuals of European ancestry (EA). We examined associations of genetically …
