Abstract excerpt
Two enhancer regions upstream of the apolipoprotein(a) (apo(a)) gene were amplified and sequenced from subjects who were known to express abnormally high or low amounts of lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)). No base changes were found in the DHII region situated 28 kb from the apo(a) gene. Three common base substitutions were found in the DHIII region about 20 kb from the gene. One, an A to G change at position -1230,...
