Apolipoprotein(a) (apo(a)) is the protein component that defines lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) particles and is encoded by the LPA gene. The apo(a) is extremely heterogeneous in size due to the copy number variations in the kringle-IV type 2 (KIV2) domains. In this review, we aim to discuss the role of genetics in establishing Lp(a) as a risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD) by examining a series of molecular biology techniques aimed at identifying the best strategy for a possible application in clinical research and practice, according to the current gold standard.
载脂蛋白(a)(apo(a))是定义脂蛋白(a)(Lp(a))颗粒的蛋白成分,由 LPA 基因编码。apo(a) 由于kringle-IV 型 2(KIV2)结构域的拷贝数变异而在大小上极其不均一。在本综述中,我们旨在通过检查一系列旨在确定最佳策略的分子生物学技术来讨论遗传在确定 Lp(a) 作为冠心病(CHD)风险因素中的作用,根据当前的金标准,该策略可能适用于临床研究和实践。
