Differences in apolipoprotein (a) polymorphism in west Greenland Eskimos and Caucasian Danes.

Human genetics - 1 Jun 1992

Klausen I C, Gerdes L U, Schmidt E B, Dyerberg J, Faergeman O

Abstract excerpt

Previous studies in Greenland suggest that death rates from ischemic heart disease [IHD] are lower in Eskimos than in Danes and other Caucasian populations. This has been explained by a high intake of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids with beneficial effects on blood lipids and hemostasis. In other populations, lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is associated with IHD, plasma concentrations of Lp(a) being genetically...
