Transgenic mice expressing a human apolipoprotein[a] allele

The most important determinant of plasma levels of Lp[a] are sequence differences at the highly polymorphic apolipoprotein[a] (apo[a]) locus. To define the sequences that mediate the regulation of apo[a] expression, we cloned a 370 kb DNA fragment that included a 130 kb apo[a] gene, and 40 kb 5′- an...
