OBJECTIVE: We set out to investigate the relative contribution of genetic and environmental effect on two inflammatory CVD biomarkers; lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A(2) (Lp-PLA(2)) and anti-phosphorylcholine IgM (anti-PC). Their relationships and possible co-regulation with other established CVD biomarkers are also examined. METHODS: Lp-PLA(2) activity (N=1600) and anti-PC (N=2036) levels were measured in...
