Abstract excerpt
Polymorphisms in the genes for the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor ligands, apolipoprotein E (apoE), and apolipoprotein B (apoB) are associated with variation in plasma levels of LDL cholesterol. Lp(a) lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is LDL in which apoB is attached to a glycoprotein called apolipo...
