Abstract excerpt

CONTEXT: Lipoprotein(a) is a cardiovascular risk factor. Levels of lipoprotein(a) are predominantly determined by apolipoprotein(a) gene variation, including a pentanucleotide repeat promoter polymorphism. OBJECTIVE: We tested the hypothesis that apolipoprotein(a) pentanucleotide repeat genotype predicts elevated lipoprotein(a) levels and risk of myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemic heart disease (IHD) in the...
