Abstract excerpt

A high plasma concentration of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] has been suggested as a risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD), but some recent prospective studies have questioned the significance of Lp(a). Lp(a) concentrations are determined to a large extent by the hypervariable apo(a) gene locus on chromosome 6q2.7, which contains a variable number of identical tandemly arranged transcribed kringle IV type 2...
