Abstract A size polymorphism (K IV VNTR) and largely unknown sequence variation in the
apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)] gene on chromosome 6q26–q27 together determine most of the …

Apolipoprotein [a] polymorphism has been investigated by sodium dodecyl sulfate
polyacrylamide (5.37%) gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting using a standardized …

Elevated concentrations of lipoprotein (a)(Lp [a]) in plasma are associated with premature
coronary heart disease (CHD). Lp (a) levels are largely determined by alleles at the …

Background: Lp (a) is a lipoparticle of unknown function mainly present in primates and
humans. It consists of a low-density lipoprotein and apo (a), a polymorphic glycoprotein. Apo …

We measured plasma levels of lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) in a sample of 152 Dutch adolescent
mono-and dizygotic twin pairs and their parents. The distribution of Lp (a) levels was …

Previous studies in Greenland suggest that death rates from ischemic heart disease [IHD]
are lower in Eskimos than in Danes and other Caucasian populations. This has been …

Abstract Serum lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) levels were measured in 89 men with peripheral
vascular disease (PVD) and 129 (100 male and 29 woman) healthy controls. Apolipoprotein …

Lipoprotein Lp (a) levels are highly heritable and are associated with cardiovascular risk.
We performed a genome-wide linkage analysis to delineate the genomic regions that …

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 …

Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is a quantitative genetic trait in human plasma and elevated levels
represent a major inherited risk factor for the development of atherosclerotic disease. In our …
