A locus, LP, that determines quantitative variation of Lp(a) lipoprotein phenotypes is linked to the plasminogen (PLG) locus (peak lod score = 12.73). This linkage relationship assigns a locus with alleles that have an affect on risk for coronary artery disease to the long arm of chromosome 6.

Pretreatment Lipoprotein(a) as a Biomarker for EGFR Mutation and Prognosis in Lung Adenocarcinoma.
Int J Gen Med
December 2024
Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, People's Republic of China.
Purpose: This study aims to investigate the correlation between pretreatment serum lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutations, as well as its predictive value for progression-free survival (PFS) in advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients receiving epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) therapy.
Patients And Methods: We determined the optimal cutoff value for Lp(a) by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and Youden's index to categorize Lp(a) into high and low groups. Logistic regression was used to analyze the EGFR mutation rate in different groups.
Lipoprotein(a) as a Predictor of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver After Pancreatectomy.
Anticancer Res
January 2025
Department of Surgery, The Jikei University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.
Background/aim: Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) is a complex protein involved in the transport of insoluble lipids in plasma. Its expression is predominantly genetically determined, with 70% to over 90% influenced by the number of Kringle IV type 2 domains. This study investigated the association between preoperative serum Lp(a) level and development of post-pancreatectomy nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in patients who underwent pancreatectomy.

Echocardiography
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Zhejiang Hospital, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China.
Purpose: There are limited reports on the potential link between Lp(a) and ARDM. Thus, we examined the relationship between Lp(a) and ARDM among hypertensive patients.
Methods: We used echocardiography to measure ARDM in 513 consecutively hospitalized patients.

Department of Clinical Pathology, Minia University Faculty of Medicine, Minia, EGY.
Introduction Many studies have supported inflammation as a mediator of lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)) induced increase in cardiovascular disease risk, as it has pro-inflammatory effects on endothelial cells and monocytes. Aim This study aims to correlate Lp(a) level with different monocyte subsets in coronary atherosclerotic patients with different severity. Method The study included 60 patients with a mean age of 53.

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv
December 2024
Cardiothoracovascular Department, Division of Structural Interventional Cardiology, Careggi University Hospital, Florence, Italy.
Background: Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is associated with increased cardiovascular risk, but its influence on plaque characteristics at optical coherence tomography (OCT) evaluation is not fully understood.
Aims: This study seeks to explore the impact of Lp(a) levels on plaque morphology as assessed by OCT in a very high-risk subset of patients.
Methods: Consecutive patients admitted for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and undergoing OCT-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at a large tertiary care center between 2019 and 2022 were deemed eligible for the current analysis.
