Abstract excerpt
This study demonstrates that peripheral apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)] levels are higher in patients with polygenic hypercholesterolemia (PH) and combined hyperlipidemia (CH) than in controls. Levels of apo(a) inversely correlate with apo(a) isoform sizes. For a given apo(a) isoform, apo(a) levels ar...
