Abstract excerpt
Lp(a) concentrations are controlled primarily by genetic variation at LPA, the locus encoding the unique protein apo(a). However, the high heritability is in part a consequence of nearly a 1000-fold range of Lp(a) concentrations found in healthy individuals. As determined by use of siblings genetically identical-by-descent at the LPA locus, there is substantial within-genotype variation in Lp(a) concentrations...
