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

Summary The lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] and apolipoprotein E (apoE) polymorphisms have been
shown to be important genetic determinants of cardiovascular risk. Their effect on coronary …

Summary Apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)] exhibits a genetic size polymorphism explaining about
40% of the variability in lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] concentration in Tyroleans. Lp (a) …

Heritability of LPA allele, apo (a) isoform sizes, and isoform-associated lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)]
levels was studied in 82 Caucasian and African-American families with two parents and two …

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 …

High plasma lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] levels have been implicated as an independent risk
factor for coronary artery disease in Caucasians, Chinese, Africans, and Indians. Apo (a) that …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is a low-density-like lipoprotein with the addition of a Lp (a)-
specific protein, apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)]. Plasma concentrations of Lp (a) are a risk factor …

Several studies indicate that the inter-individual variation in plasma concentrations of
lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) is mainly under genetic control. To define the effect of three DNA …

It is well recognized that blood lipoprotein A [Lp (a)] levels constitute an important risk factor
for atherosclerotic vascular disease. In some populations, mainly Caucasian, Lp (a) levels …

High plasma concentrations of lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)], a covalent low-density lipoprotein-
apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)] complex, are associated with coronary heart disease and stroke …
