[Relation of pentanucleotide repeat polymorphism of apolipoprotein (a) gene to plasma lipoprotein (a) level among Chinese patients with myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction].

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Investigate the distribution and characteristics of 5'pentanucleotide TTTTA repeat (PNTR) polymorphism of apolipoprotein (a) [apo (a)] gene among Chinese patients with myocardial infarction (MI) and cerebral infarction, and its relationship to plasma lipoprotein (a) [Lp (a)] level. METHODS: DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood of 438 patients with myocardial infarction (MI, documented...
