Association of Lipoprotein(a) with arterial stiffness: A Mendelian randomization study
18 Jan 2024
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In this study we used Mendelian randomization (MR) to investigate the potential causal association of lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] levels with pulse wave velocity (PWV). METHODS: Genetic variants associated with Lp(a) were retrieved from the UK Biobank GWAS (N = 290,497). A non- overlapping GWAS based on a European cohort (N = 7,000) was used to obtain genetic associations with PWV (outcome) and utilized...
