Coronary heart disease risk correlates directly with plasma concentrations of lipoprotein
(a)(Lp (a)), a lowdensity lipoprotein-like particle distinguished by the presence of the …

Background: Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] levels predict the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) in
populations of European ancestry; however, few data are available for other ethnic groups …

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 …

Background High lipoprotein (a) concentrations present in 10%–20% of the population have
long been linked to increased risk of ischemic cardiovascular disease. It is unclear whether …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)], a distinct lipoprotein class, has become a major focus for
cardiovascular research. This review is written in light of the recent guideline and consensus …

Objectives—The purpose of this study was to identify genetic variants associated with
severe coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods and Results—We used 3 case-control …

Elevated levels of plasma lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] have been correlated with the development
of atherosclerosis in human populations. Apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a); the distinguishing …

Summary Apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)] is a large serum glycoprotein with several genetically
determined isoforms differing in their apparent molecular weight. We determined the effects …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)], an atherogenic lipoprotein, consists of an LDL particle
complexed with a large glycoprotein, apollpoprotein (a)[apo (a)]. Apo (a) is one of the most …

Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is a quantitative genetic trait that in the general population is largely
controlled by 1 major locus—the locus for the apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)] gene. Sibpair …
