LPA

Unclassified Loci · Unclassified Protein-Coding Locus

Is an LPA genetic finding the same as an Lp(a) blood measurement?

LPA encodes apolipoprotein(a), a major component of the lipoprotein(a) particle. Genetic variation can influence that particle, while a blood test measures the circulating level itself.

Common Gene Name: lipoprotein(a)
NCBI Gene ID: 4018
Chromosome: 6
