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 …

Elevated concentrations of lipoprotein (a)(Lp [a]) in plasma are associated with premature
coronary heart disease (CHD). Lp (a) levels are largely determined by alleles at the …

In the present paper, we have evaluated serum Lp (a) concentrations, the frequencies of Lp
(a) phenotypes and alleles and the association between the Lp (a) phenotypes and serum …

Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] concentration and apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)] isoforms (identified by
sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis [SDS-PAGE] and Western …

Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a condition characterized by markedly elevated blood
cholesterol, low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and apolipoprotein B-100 (apo B). The …

Familial hypercholesterolemia carries a marked increase in the risk of coronary heart
disease (CHD), but there is considerable variation between individuals in susceptibility to …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] concentrations are known to be stable under various dietary
and drug regimens. Little is known about the influence of hyperlipoproteinemia on Lp (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 …

Serum lipoprotein (a)(Lp [a]) levels were significantly higher in 89 patients with
heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH)(geometric mean, 22.7 mg/dl) than in 109 …

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 …
