Lipoprotein (a): a historical appraisal.

Journal of lipid research - 1 Jan 2017

Kostner Karam M, Kostner Gert M

Abstract excerpt

Initially, lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] was believed to be a genetic variant of lipoprotein (Lp)-B. Because its lipid moiety is almost identical to LDL, Lp(a) has been deliberately considered to be highly atherogenic. Lp(a) was detected in 1963 by Kare Berg, and individuals who were positive for this factor were called Lpa+ Lpa+ individuals were found more frequently in patients with coronary heart disease than in...
