Lipoprotein (a)(Lp [a]) has gained attention as a heritable coronary artery disease (CAD) risk
factor and therapeutic target. Two genetic variants in the LPA gene have been reported to …

Objective—Increased levels of lipoprotein (a) are a highly heritable risk factor for coronary
artery disease (CAD). The genetic determinants of lipoprotein (a) levels are mainly because …

Abstract Background Lipoprotein (a)(Lp [a]) is a causal genetic risk factor for atherosclerotic
cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). There are limited long-term follow-up data from large US …

Recent published studies have provided increasing evidence that lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] may
be a potential causal, genetic, independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Lp …

Background An increased level of Lp (a) lipoprotein has been identified as a risk factor for
coronary artery disease that is highly heritable. The genetic determinants of the Lp (a) …

This study reviews ancestral differences in the genetics of the LPA gene, risk categories of
elevated lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] as defined by guidelines, ancestry-specific Lp (a) risk …

Importance Human genetic studies have indicated that plasma lipoprotein (a)(Lp [a]) is
causally associated with the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), but randomized trials of …

Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] has attracted the interest of researchers and physicians due to its
intriguing properties, including an intragenic multiallelic copy number variation in the LPA …

High levels of lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)], an apoB100-containing lipoprotein, are an independent
and causal risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases through mechanisms …

Objective: Lipoprotein (a)(Lp [a]) is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) but also
to LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol. The genetic architecture of Lp (a) remains …
