Lp (a) concentrations are controlled primarily by genetic variation at LPA, the locus encoding
the unique protein apo (a). However, the high heritability is in part a consequence of nearly …

Analyses of 1163 samples from the San Antonio Family Heart Study revealed several
elements of genetic control of lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) concentrations in Mexican Americans …

The frequency distribution for serum lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) concentrations in healthy
Japanese was highly skewed, with a mean±SD of 14.6±13.6 mg/dl and a median of 11.0 …

Background: Lp (a)(lipoprotein [a]) levels are higher in individuals of African ancestry (AA)
than in individuals of European ancestry (EA). We examined associations of genetically …

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 …

The human plasma lipoprotein Lp (a) has gained considerable clinical interest as a
genetically determined risk factor for atherosclerotic vascular diseases. Numerous (including …

The current epidemic affecting Indians is coronary artery disease (CAD), and is currently one
of the most common causes of mortality and morbidity in developed and developing …

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 …

The enormous interindividual variation in the plasma concentrations of the atherogenic
lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is almost entirely controlled by the apo (a) locus on chromosome 6q26 …

Plasma lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)], a low density lipoprotein particle with an attached
apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)], varies widely in concentration between individuals. These …
