[Hyperlipoprotein (a)-emia determined by genetic polymorphisms in apolipoprotein (a) gene].

Abstract excerpt

Prothrombotic and proatherogenic risk factors, including elevated lipoprotein (a), predispose an individual to initial and recurrent ischemic stroke. An increased plasma level of lipoprotein (a), over 25-30 mg/dL, is called hyperlipoprotein (a)-emia, and is largely determined by genetic polymorphisms in apolipoprotein (a). Apolipoprotein (a) is a major protein component of lipoprotein (a), and is connected with...
