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 …

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 …

Many human proteins contain domains that vary in size or copy number because of variable
numbers of tandem repeats (VNTRs) in protein-coding exons. However, the relationships of …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is a highly atherogenic lipoprotein that is under strong
genetic control by the LPA gene locus. Genetic variants including a highly polymorphic copy …

High lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] concentrations are an independent risk factor for cardiovascular
outcomes. Concentrations are strongly influenced by apo (a) kringle IV repeat isoforms. We …

Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is an independent, causal, genetically determined risk factor for
cardiovascular disease (CVD). We provide an overview of current knowledge on Lp (a) and …

Objectives—The purpose of this study was to identify genetic variants associated with
severe coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods and Results—We used 3 case-control …

Lipoprotein (a) Lp (a) is a cholesterol‐rich, LDL‐like particle that is independently
associated with an increased risk for ischemic heart disease, atherosclerosis, thrombosis …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is a highly heritable cardiovascular risk factor. Although
discovered more than 50 years ago, Lp (a) has recently re-emerged as a major focus in the …

Initially, lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] was believed to be a genetic variant of lipoprotein (Lp)-B.
Because its lipid moiety is almost identical to LDL, Lp (a) has been deliberately considered …
