Concentration of lipoprotein (a) in plasma is inherited in an autosomal co-dominant manner
and its high concentration leads to atherothrombotic disease. Nucleotide sequence analysis …

The apolipoprotein (a)(apo [a]) gene encodes a protein component of lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)]
whose plasma levels vary widely among individuals. Hyper-Lp (a)-emia constitutes a risk …

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 …

Apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)], an apolipoprotein unique to lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)], is highly
polymorphic in size. Previous studies have indicated that the size of the apo (a) gene tends …

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) …

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 …

Elevated plasma lipoprotein (a)(LP (a] levels are an independent predictor of the
development of premature atherosclerosis in humans. The LP (a) particle consists of two …

We have developed a sensitve, high-resolution method for the analysis of the apolipoprotein
(a)[apo (a)] isoforms using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-agarose/gradient polyacrylamide …

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 …

Lp (a) concentrations are largely determined by apo (a) isoform size, but several studies
have shown that apo (a) isoforms could not entirely explain the increase of Lp (a) levels …
