A slight positive correlation between the concentration of PCSK9-Lp(a) complexes and the absolute level of monocytes was obtained (r = 0.20, <i>p</i> = 0.002) in the patients with atherosclerosis due to the intermediate monocyte subsets (r = 0.33, <i>p</i> = 0.04). This evidence concerns the gene PCSK9 and atherosclerosis.
