The impact of race and ethnicity on lipoprotein(a) levels and cardiovascular risk

24 Apr 2021

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is a plasma circulating apoB100 (apoB) containing lipoprotein. It has a unique glycoprotein bound to the apoB100, apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)]. The majority of the population expresses two apo(a) isoforms, when bound to apoB100 they create two circulating Lp(a) particles. Lp(a) levels are genetically determined and epidemiological studies have established elevated levels of...
