Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Lipoprotein(a) is an independent risk factor of atherosclerosis. DESIGN AND METHODS: We assigned frequencies of six polymorphic sites from apo(a) gene transcription control regions, linkage disequilibrium, and 5-polymorphic compound genotypes association with Lp(a) levels. RESULTS: Significant linkage disequilibrium between polymorphic sites was detected. Compound genotypes were significantly...
