Apolipoprotein A kringle 4 polymorphism and serum lipoprotein (a) concentrations in African blacks.

Human biology - 1 Jun 1998

Ali S, Bunker C H, Aston C E, Ukoli F A, Kamboh M I

Abstract excerpt

Several epidemiological studies have established that elevated serum lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] levels are independent risk factors for coronary heart disease, stroke, and restenosis of coronary lesions in white and Asian populations. Serum Lp(a) levels vary over a 1000-fold range among individuals and are under strict genetic control. Serum Lp(a) levels are significantly higher in populations with African ancestry...
