Genetics and cardiovascular risk: a role for apolipoprotein(a) polymorphism.

Cardiologia (Rome, Italy) - 1 Apr 1999

Gazzaruso C, Garzaniti A, Geroldi D, Finardi G

Abstract excerpt

Apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)] is the specific apolipoprotein of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], a recognized cardiovascular risk factor. Apo(a) is characterized by a high genetic polymorphism with at least 34 isoforms in plasma. Recent studies have shown that in atherothrombosis apo(a) polymorphism could play a role independent of Lp(a) levels. In particular, apo(a) phenotypes seem to have their highest predictive value for...
