Abstract excerpt
Dyslipidemia, a significant risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), is prevalent in the Middle East (ME) countries. With a variable prevalence, elevated lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] is the most widespread monogenic dyslipidemic disorder. Genetic studies have established Lp(a) as a heritable and independent risk factor for CVD. This discovery has shifted the perception of Lp(a) and the LPA gene from mere...
