Polymorphisms in the apolipoprotein(a) gene and their relationship to allele size and plasma lipoprotein(a) concentration.

Human molecular genetics - 1 Jul 1997

Puckey L H, Lawn R M, Knight B L

Abstract excerpt

Genotypes at five previously described polymorphic sites at the apolipoprotein(a) gene locus have been determined for the members of 27 families as well as for unrelated white Caucasian and Asian-Indian subjects, and their relationship with isoform size and plasma lipoprotein(a) concentrations investigated. There was strong linkage disequilibrium between sites at the 5'-region of the gene and also between this...
