Abstract excerpt
Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] is a highly heterogeneous lipoprotein particle promoting panvascular disease. Structurally, it consists of an LDL-like core covalently bound to apolipoprotein (a) [apo(a)]. Molecular determinants linking various genetic variants of apo(a) constituent of Lp(a) to vascular pathology remain incompletely defined. We have built a model allowing dissection which variations in LPA gene are...
