Summary Apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)] exhibits a genetic size polymorphism explaining about
40% of the variability in lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] concentration in Tyroleans. Lp (a) …

Apolipoprotein [a] polymorphism has been investigated by sodium dodecyl sulfate
polyacrylamide (5.37%) gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting using a standardized …

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) …

Plasma lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)], a low density lipoprotein particle with an attached
apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)], varies widely in concentration between individuals. These …

Summary Apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)] is a large serum glycoprotein with several genetically
determined isoforms differing in their apparent molecular weight. We determined the effects …

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 …

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 …

Elevated lipoprotein (a)(Lp [a]) concentrations are associated with premature coronary heart
disease (CHD). In the general population, Lp (a) levels are largely determined by alleles at …

The distributions of plasma lipoprotein (a), or Lp (a), levels differ significantly among ethnic
groups. Individuals of African descent have a two-to threefold higher mean plasma level of …

Distributions of plasma lipoprotein (a)(Lp [a]) concentrations exhibit marked interracial
differences. Apolipoprotein (a)(apo [a]), the unique constituent of Lp (a), is highly …
