Abstract excerpt
Essentials Elevated lipoproteinp(a) is an independent and causal risk factor for atherothrombotic diseases. rs3798220 (Ile/Met substitution in apo(a) protease-like domain) is associated with disease risk. Recombinant I4399M apo(a) altered clot structure to accelerate coagulation/delay fibrinolysis. Evidence was found for increased solvent exposure and oxidation of Met residue. SUMMARY: Background Lipoprotein(a)...
