Lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) is an important causal cardiovascular risk factor, with serum Lp (a)
levels predicting atherosclerotic heart disease and genetic determinants of Lp (a) levels …

Two independent single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the gene encoding
apolipoprotein (a)(LPA) have been shown to be associated with coronary heart disease …

Lp (a) and diabetes are both known and established risk factors for the development of
cardiovascular disease. However, studies trying to link both risk factors find an inverse …

Abstract Background Lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) concentrations are a major independent risk
factor for coronary artery disease (CAD) and are mainly determined by variation in LPA. Up …

Background Low concentrations of lipoprotein (a) in plasma are associated with increased
risk of type 2 diabetes, but whether this association is causal is unclear. Variations in the …
