Abstract excerpt

Analyses of 1163 samples from the San Antonio Family Heart Study revealed several elements of genetic control of lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) concentrations in Mexican Americans. Apolipoprotein(a) (apo(a)) isoform size variation was inversely related to Lp(a) concentrations and explained about 22% of t...
