Important advances have been made in the past year in our understanding of the genetics of
lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)]. The apolipoprotein (a)[APO (a)] gene has been cloned and mice have …

Lp (a) is an LDL‐like lipoprotein that is a major inherited risk factor for atherosclerosis. It is
distinguished from Lp (a) by the addition of apolipoprotein (a). The gene structure of …

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 …

Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is a quantitative genetic trait in human plasma that is almost
unaffected by age, diet, or life-style. Thc distribution of Lp (a) plasma concentrations is …

Summary Apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)], the glycoprotein associated with the lipoprotein (a)[Lp
(a)] subfraction of plasma lipoproteins, has been shown to exhibit heritable molecular weight …

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 …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is a quantitative trait in human plasma. Lp (a) consists of a
low-density lipoprotein and the plasminogen-related apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)]. The apo (a) …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)(Lp [a]) is a cholesterol-rich lipoprotein resembling LDL but also
containing a large polypeptide designated apolipoprotein (a)(apo [a]). Its levels are highly …

High plasma levels of lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) and its unique apolipoprotein, apo (a), are an
independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Plasma Lp (a) levels vary over a 1000 …

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 …
