Distributions of plasma lipoprotein (a)(Lp [a]) concentrations exhibit marked interracial
differences. Apolipoprotein (a)(apo [a]), the unique constituent of Lp (a), is highly …

Abstract Objectives Lipoprotein (a), Lp (a), represents an apolipoprotein (apo) B-carrying
lipoprotein, yet the relationship between Lp (a) and apoB levels has not been fully explored …

BACKGROUND: Both genome-wide association studies and candidate gene studies have
reported that the major determinant of plasma levels of the Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] reside …

Background: Increased concentrations of lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] have been considered a
genetically determined risk factor for coronary artery and cerebrovascular disease. Only 2 …

Malignant coronary artery disease (CAD) refers to a severe and extensive atherosclerotic
process involving multiple coronary arteries in young individuals (aged< 45 years in men …

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 …

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 …

The relative frequencies of the* A allele of the APOA1 gene at-75 bp (M1-) and the C or T+
83/+ 84 bp allele (M2-) varied significantly between populations. We found the frequencies …

The discovery of lipoprotein (a)(Lp [a]) traces back to the 1960s, with fundamental insights
into particle structure and heritability gained in the 1970s (1, 2). Lipoprotein (a) is composed …

Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] has attracted the interest of researchers and physicians due to its
intriguing properties, including an intragenic multiallelic copy number variation in the LPA …
