Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: In order to search for factors influencing the Lp(a) lipoprotein level, we have examined the apolipoprotein(a) (apo(a)) size polymorphism as well as a pentanucleotide (TTTTA) repeat polymorphism in the 5' control region of the LPA gene. DESIGN: Lp(a) lipoprotein levels were compared b...
