Molecular basis of an apolipoprotein[a] null allele: a splice site mutation is associated with deletion of a single exon.

Journal of lipid research - 1 Jul 1998

Abstract excerpt

Apolipoprotein[a] (apo[a]), a unique component of atherogenic lipoprotein[a], is highly polymorphic in human and nonhuman primates. Null alleles, producing no detectable circulating Lp[a] or apo[a] isoforms, are found at high frequencies. The molecular basis of null alleles is not yet known. In b...
