Abstract High lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] concentrations are one of the most important genetically
determined risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Lp (a) concentrations are an enigmatic …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)], a distinct lipoprotein class, has become a major focus for
cardiovascular research. This review is written in light of the recent guideline and consensus …

The article summarizes the increased knowledge about the enigmatic Lp (a) lipoprotein and
its clinical importance over the past 20 years. The mode of inheritance, the unique features …

Objective—Lp (a)[lipoprotein (a)] is composed of apoB (apolipoprotein B) and apo
(a)[apolipoprotein (a)] and is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and …

Aims Lp (a) concentrations represent a major cardiovascular risk factor and are almost
entirely controlled by one single locus (LPA). However, many genetic factors in LPA …

Abstract A size polymorphism (K IV VNTR) and largely unknown sequence variation in the
apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)] gene on chromosome 6q26–q27 together determine most of the …

Genetic factors have been shown to play an important role in determining interindividual
variation in plasma HDL-C levels, but the specific genetic determinants of HDL cholesterol …

The genetic similarity between humans and nonhuman primates makes nonhuman primates
uniquely suited as models for genetic research on complex physiological and behavioral …

Plasma lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) concentrations vary considerably between individuals. To
examine the variation for products of the same and different apolipoprotein (a)(apo (a)) …

). Genetic susceptibility plays a key role in atherosclerosis, particularly when clinical end
points strike early in life. Some risk factors—such as dyslipidemia, diabetes and …
