Abstract excerpt
Plasma levels of the atherogenic lipoprotein[a] represent a quantitative genetic trait that is primarily controlled by the polymorphic apolipoprotein[a] locus on chromosome 6q. The more than 1000-fold variation in lipoprotein[a] plasma levels is explained to a large extent by a remarkable size polymorphism of the apolipoprotein[a] gene which is translated into apolipoprotein[a] isoforms and by unidentified...
