Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] has attracted the interest of researchers and physicians due to its
intriguing properties, including an intragenic multiallelic copy number variation in the LPA …

Background: Lp (a)(lipoprotein [a]) is a highly atherogenic lipoprotein strongly associated
with coronary artery disease (CAD). Lp (a) concentrations are chiefly determined genetically …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Lp
(a) levels in African Americans (AAs) are much higher compared with that in European …

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 …

Lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) is an independent, genetically regulated cardiovascular risk factor. Lp
(a) plasma levels are largely determined by the apolipoprotein (a)(apo (a)) component, and …

Background: The extent which universally common or population-specific alleles can
explain between-population variations in phenotypes is unknown. The heritable coronary …

Abstract Levels of Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] correlate directly with atherosclerosis risk. The Lp
(a) particle is physically and chemically similar to low density lipoprotein (LDL), the main …

In additional analyses using data retrieved from the CARDIoGRAMplusC4D consortium,
seven of the identified SNPs in the LPA gene region were found to be significantly …

High levels of lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)], an apoB100-containing lipoprotein, are an independent
and causal risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases through mechanisms …

Lp (a) concentrations are controlled primarily by genetic variation at LPA, the locus encoding
the unique protein apo (a). However, the high heritability is in part a consequence of nearly …
