Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: LPA encodes apolipoprotein(a), and a CCTC haplotype in the LPA locus is associated with CHD. The 4399Met variant (rs3798220) of LPA has a risk estimate for CHD similar to that of the CCTC haplotype. We asked whether co-incidence with the 4399Met variant explained the association of the haplotype with CHD. METHODS: We stratified by the 4399Met variant and another LPA SNP (rs10455872) associated with CHD...
