Abstract Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis-related
events that is under strong genetic control (heritability= 0.68–0.98). However, causal …

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 …

Background—Functional copy number variation in the apolipoprotein (a) gene (LPA)
underlies a variable number of protein kringle domains repeated in tandem in the lipoprotein …

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 …

Objective—Increased levels of lipoprotein (a) are a highly heritable risk factor for coronary
artery disease (CAD). The genetic determinants of lipoprotein (a) levels are mainly because …

Objective: Lp (a)(lipoprotein [a]) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases
and plasma levels are primarily determined by variation at the LPA locus. We performed a …

Plasma lipoprotein (a)(Lp [a]) level is an independent risk factor of cardiovascular disease
that is under strong genetic control. We conducted a genome-wide association study of …

In 2010, more than 45 years after the initial discovery of lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] by Kare Berg,
an European Atherosclerosis Society Consensus Panel recommended screening for …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is a low-density-like lipoprotein with the addition of a Lp (a)-
specific protein, apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)]. Plasma concentrations of Lp (a) are a risk factor …

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 …
