Abstract excerpt
The frequency distribution for serum lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) concentrations in healthy Japanese was highly skewed, with a mean +/- S.D. of 14.6 +/- 13.6 mg/dl and a median of 11.0 mg/dl. The present study provides the first evidence on the frequencies of Lp(a) phenotypes and alleles in healthy Japanese subjects. There was a strong inverse relationship between the apparent molecular weights of apo(a) isoforms and...
