Phenotypic Characterization of Genetically Lowered Human Lipoprotein(a) Levels.

J. Am. Coll. Cardiol.. 2016 Dec;68(25):2761-2772, PMID: 28007139

Genomic analyses have suggested that the LPA gene and its associated plasma biomarker, lipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]), represent a causal risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD). As such, lowering Lp(a) levels has emerged as a therapeutic strategy. Beyond target identification, human genetics may contribute to the development of new therapies by defining the full spectrum of beneficial and adverse consequences and by developing a dose-response curve of target perturbation.
