Abstract excerpt
Importance: Elevated lipoprotein(a) levels are a risk factor for aortic stenosis (AS). However, a large-scale replication of associations between LPA variants and AS, their interactions with risk factors, and the effect of multiple risk alleles is not well established. Objective: To replicate the association between LPA variants with AS and identify subgroups who are at higher risk of developing AS. Design,...
