Apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)], an apolipoprotein unique to lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)], is highly
polymorphic in size. Previous studies have indicated that the size of the apo (a) gene tends …

The aim of this study was to assess the independent contributions of plasma levels of
lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)), Lp (a) cholesterol, and of apo (a) isoform size to prospective coronary …

The role of genetic and environmental factors in determining the variability in plasma
lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] levels was investigated in 220 members of 14 families with familial …

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 …

Elevated plasma lipoprotein (a)(LP (a] levels are an independent predictor of the
development of premature atherosclerosis in humans. The LP (a) particle consists of two …

Abstract Human apolipoprotein A‐IV (APO A‐IV) exhibits a common protein polymorphism
detectable by isoelectric focusing (IEF) due to a single base substitution at codon 360 which …

To evaluate whether a high level of lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) is a risk for the development of
coronary heart disease (CHD), 94 Japanese patients and 64 age-matched Japanese …

Distributions of plasma lipoprotein (a)(Lp [a]) concentrations exhibit marked interracial
differences. Apolipoprotein (a)(apo [a]), the unique constituent of Lp (a), is highly …

Lp [a] concentrations in nmol/L and apo [a] size isoforms, expressed in terms of the relative
number of apo [a] kringle 4 (K4) repeats, were determined in 3959 whites and blacks from …

Plasma lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) concentrations vary considerably between individuals. To
examine the variation for products of the same and different apolipoprotein (a)(apo (a)) …
