However, compared to controls, keloid cases had higher levels of Lp(a) (57.8 vs. 44.2 mg/dL; P = 0.01), OxPL-apoB (17.4 vs. 15.7 nmol/L; P = 0.009), IgG MDA-mimotope titers (607 vs. 422 RLU, P = 0.001), IgM MDA-mimotope titers (1512 vs. 1346 RLU, P = 0.001), IgG ApoB-IC titers (1291 vs. 888 RLU, P < 0.0001) and IgM MDA-mimotope titers (1404 vs. 814 RLU, P < 0.0001). The gene discussed is APOB; the disease is keloid.
