Lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)) is a low density lipoprotein-like particle which contains the plasminogen-like apolipoprotein a. Lp(a) levels are elevated in patients with atherosclerotic coronary artery disease.

Intermediate-density lipoproteins (IDLs) and lipoprotein (a) are highly atherogenic species that each normally account for up to 10% to 15% total LDL cholesterol but may be disproportionately elevated in pathologic states and may therefore contribute disproportionately to coronary disease risk in certain patients.

Coronary heart disease risk correlates directly with plasma concentrations of lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)), a low-density lipoprotein-like particle distinguished by the presence of the glycoprotein apolipoprotein(a) (apo(a)), which is bound to apolipoprotein B-100 (apoB-100) by disulfide bridges.

An investigation of the influence of selected factors on the clinical expression of the FH Afrikaner-1 mutation in this family indicated that it was especially the elevated apolipoprotein (a) levels, in addition to low levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol and raised triglyceride and apolipoprotein B levels, that were associated with a greater risk of developing CHD.

Some reports have suggested that plasma lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] levels may explain such variation and that FH subjects deficient in LDL receptors, especially those with coronary heart disease, tend to have elevated Lp(a) levels.
