Background An increased level of Lp (a) lipoprotein has been identified as a risk factor for
coronary artery disease that is highly heritable. The genetic determinants of the Lp (a) …

Plasma lipoprotein (a)[L p (a)] is a quantitative genetic trait with a very broad and skewed
distribution, which is largely controlled by genetic variants at the LPA locus on chromosome …

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: Genomic analyses have suggested that the LPA gene and its associated
plasma biomarker, lipoprotein (a)(Lp [a]), represent a causal risk factor for coronary heart …

Importance Human genetic studies have indicated that plasma lipoprotein (a)(Lp [a]) is
causally associated with the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), but randomized trials of …

Objective: Lipoprotein (a)(Lp [a]) is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) but also
to LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol. The genetic architecture of Lp (a) remains …

Recent published studies have provided increasing evidence that lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] may
be a potential causal, genetic, independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Lp …

Objective—The aim of the present study was to determine whether lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)],
considered a causal risk factor for cardiovascular disease, primarily promotes thrombosis or …

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 …

Background: The relationship of LPA single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs),
apolipoprotein (a) isoforms, and lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] levels with major adverse …
