Abstract:Lipoprotein(a), Lp(a), a complex between a low‐density lipoprotein‐like lipid moiety containing apolipoprotein (apo) B, and apo(a), a plasminogen‐derived, carbohydrate‐rich, hydrophilic protein, is one of the most genetically regulated cardiovascular risk factors. For any given population, Lp(a) levels are distributed in a skewed fashion and are strongly impacted by polymorphisms of the
LPA
gene. The quantitatively most impactful polymorphism results in a variable number of kringle … Show more
