Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The LPA I4399M (rs3798220) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is associated with increased plasma levels of Lp(a) and advanced coronary artery disease (CAD). We hypothesized that carriers of the Met allele of the I4399M SNP would also have elevated levels of oxidized phospholipids (OxPL) on apoB (OxPL/apoB) particles. METHODS AND RESULTS: Plasma levels of Lp(a) and OxPL/apoB were measured in...
