Lipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]) is a low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-like particle synthesized in the liver and is composed of an apolipoprotein B100 covalently bound to the apolipoprotein(a), a glycoprotein not found in native LDL.10 High Lp(a) levels are well described in the literature as being involved in the development of cardiovascular events,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21 such as myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke. This evidence concerns the gene LPA and myocardial infarction.
