Lipoprotein(a) in women twins: heritability and relationship to apolipoprotein(a) phenotypes.

American journal of human genetics - 1 Oct 1992

Austin M A, Sandholzer C, Selby J V, Newman B, Krauss R M, Utermann G

Abstract excerpt

Lp(a) is a unique lipoprotein consisting of an LDL-like particle and a characteristic protein, apo(a). Increased levels of Lp(a) constitute a risk factor for coronary heart disease. Variation in the size of the apo(a) protein is a phenotype controlled by the apo(a) gene on chromosome 6 and is related to Lp(a) plasma levels. Based on 169 MZ and 125 DZ adult female twin pairs, this study's purpose was to estimate...
