Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Recent genome-wide association studies have identified that genetic variants in the SLC22A3-LPAL2-LPA gene cluster influence plasma lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] concentration. However, the association between this gene cluster and the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD), especially the potential underlying mechanism, remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between...
