2024-07-25
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Lipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]) is a circulating plasma lipoprotein that is emerging as an important independent risk factor for vascular disease. Lp(a) levels are 75-90% heritable, predominantly determined by copy number variation and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at the LPA gene. <h4>Methods</h4> Using ∼370K individuals with serum measurements of Lp(a) in the UK Biobank European cohort, w...
