Apolipoprotein [a] genotype influences isoform dominance pattern differently in African Americans and Caucasians

Apolipoprotein [a] genotype influences isoform dominance pattern differently in African Americans and Caucasians

Plasma lipoprotein [a] (Lp[a]) concentrations are inversely associated with, and largely determined by, apolipoprotein [a] (apo[a]) gene size, a highly polymorphic trait. We studied if, within an individual, the smaller apo[a] isoform always dominated, whether there was interaction between the two a...
