Serum distribution of lipoprotein(a) in African Americans and Nigerians: potential evidence for a genotype-environmental effect.

Genetic epidemiology - 1 Jan 1997

Rotimi C N, Cooper R S, Marcovina S M, McGee D, Owoaje E, Ladipo M

Abstract excerpt

Differences in lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] levels across populations have been described and blacks are known to have higher Lp(a) values compared to whites. However, environmental factors which influence Lp(a) levels have been difficult to identify. We took advantage of the large environmental contra...
