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 …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) represents a quantitative trait in human plasma associated
with atherothrombotic disease. Large variation in the distribution of Lp (a) concentrations …

The relation between lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)], apolipoprotein (apo) E phenotypes, cholesterol,
triglycerides, apo AI, apo B, and a family history of atherosclerosis or risk factors was studied …

Lp (a) is a unique lipoprotein consisting of an LDL-like particle and a characteristic protein,
apo (a). Increased levels of Lp (a) constitute a risk factor for coronary heart disease …

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 …

The role of genetic and environmental factors in determining the variability in plasma
lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] levels was investigated in 220 members of 14 families with familial …

Two hundred and ninety four pairs of Swedish twins reared apart and twins reared together
were used to evaluate the importance of genetic and environmental influences on …

We studied the relation between the concentration of lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] in plasma,
apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)] phenotype, and the clinical expression of coronary artery disease …

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

The results of two previous and two recent studies of middle‐aged males and females are
