Serum lipoprotein(a) in patients heterozygous for familial hypercholesterolemia, their relatives, and unrelated control populations.

Abstract excerpt

Serum lipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]) levels were significantly higher in 89 patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) (geometric mean, 22.7 mg/dl) than in 109 normocholesterolemic controls (10.0 mg/dl, p less than 0.05) and 40 controls (9.1 mg/dl, p less than 0.05) with similarly elevated low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels due to other primary hypercholesterolemias. To provide further evidence...
