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 …

Abstract The lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) concentrations in serum were measured by an ELISA
technique in 53 subjects affected by familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL) and in 347 …

The structural heterogeneity of the low‐density lipoproteins (d 1· 019—1· 063 g ml‐1) in two
female patients homozygous for familial hypercholesterolaemia, one of phenotype E2/2, has …

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 …

Plasma levels of lipoprotein (a)—Lp (a)—are associated with cardiovascular risk (Danesh et
al., 2000) and were long believed to be influenced by the LPA locus on chromosome 6q27 …

The reported general inverse relationship between apolipoprotein (a)(apo (a)) size and
plasma lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) concentrations was further characterized using 927 samples …

Apolipoprotein (a) is coded by one of the most polymorphic genes known in humans. In
white and Asian populations variation in this gene is the major determinant of the plasma …

Abstract Serum lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) levels were measured in 89 men with peripheral
vascular disease (PVD) and 129 (100 male and 29 woman) healthy controls. Apolipoprotein …

Methods and results Ninety heterozygous FH patients and 41 non-FH relatives were
enrolled in a study to evaluate their plasma and lipoprotein cholesterol, as well as their …

Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disorder featuring a functional
defect in cellular LDL receptors, marked elevation in circulating LDL concentrations, and …
