Abstract excerpt
The role of genetic and environmental factors in determining the variability in plasma lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] levels was investigated in 220 members of 14 families with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) whose plasma Lp(a) levels were previously reported [Leitersdorf et al. (1991) J Lipid Res 32:1513-1519]. One hundred four subjects harbored a mutant low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor allele as confirmed by...
