Background—Serum lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] concentration is largely determined by variability
at the apolipoprotein (a) gene locus. Most prominent effects relate to polymorphisms in the …

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 …

Abstract Background Lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) concentrations are a major independent risk
factor for coronary artery disease (CAD) and are mainly determined by variation in LPA. Up …

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) …

(Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol. 2012; 32: 1550–1551.) angiographically, but carotid stenosis
(≥ 50%) was assessed by Doppler ultrasound, and peripheral vascular disease by …

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 …

Objective—The aim of the present study was to determine whether lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)],
considered a causal risk factor for cardiovascular disease, primarily promotes thrombosis or …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is a highly atherogenic lipoprotein that is under strong
genetic control by the LPA gene locus. Genetic variants including a highly polymorphic copy …

Levels of lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)], a complex between an LDL-like lipid moiety containing one
copy of apoB, and apo (a), a plasminogen-derived carbohydrate-rich hydrophilic protein, are …

Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)], is present only in humans, Old World nonhuman primates, and the
European hedgehog. Lp (a) has many properties in common with low-density lipoprotein …
