Lipoprotein(a) Mass Levels Increase Significantly According to APOE Genotype: An Analysis of 431 239 Patients – PubMed
APOE genotypes strongly influence Lp(a) and apoB-related lipoprotein levels. This suggests that differences in affinity of apoE proteins for lipoprotein clearance receptors may affect Lp(a) catabolism, suggesting a competition between Lp(a) and apoE protein for similar receptors.
