Background: The extent which universally common or population-specific alleles can
explain between-population variations in phenotypes is unknown. The heritable coronary …

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 …

The distribution of lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] levels can differ dramatically across diverse
racial/ethnic populations. The extent to which genetic variation in LPA can explain these …

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 …

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)) represents a quantitative trait in human plasma associated
with atherothrombotic disease. Large variation in the distribution of Lp (a) concentrations …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis-related
events that is under strong genetic control (heritability= 0.68–0.98). However, causal …

Differences in lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] levels across populations have been described and
blacks are known to have higher Lp (a) values compared to whites. However, environmental …

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 …

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 …
