Abstract excerpt
Both lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A(2) (Lp-PLA(2)) activity, a biomarker of inflammation, and concentration of its primary associated lipoprotein, LDL, are correlated with adverse coronary outcomes. We previously reported a quantitative trait locus (QTL) corresponding to HSA2p24.3-p23.2 with pleiotropic effects on Lp-PLA(2) activity and LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) concentration in baboons fed a basal diet....
