These findings were supported by a further study [33] that investigated the association between lowered Lp(a) levels and a range of cardiometabolic conditions, finding no association between a genetic risk score of 4 variants in the LPA gene (rs10455872, rs3798220, rs41272114 and rs143431368) and type-2 diabetes. The gene discussed is LPA; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
