Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Apolipoprotein(a) isoforms of low-molecular weight are associated with coronary heart disease. However, because of the high number of apolipoprotein(a) isoforms, it is difficult to assess the cardiovascular risk linked to the apolipoprotein(a) gene of a subject; indeed a cut-off of apolipoprotein(a) polymorphism has not been established. The aim of this investigation was to identify an 'operative'...
