Lp(a) lipoprotein [Lp(a)] was quantified in 1251 adults, including 300 motherfather-offspring triplets, by a sensitive radial immunodiffusion assay. Lp(a) was not correlated with age, sex, or cholesterol or glyceride concentrations. Significant correlations were found between mother-offspring (r = 0
Segregation analysis of four Lp assays on 557 children in 227 families reveals a dominant major gene and a residual heritable component that may reflect one or more alleles of weaker effect. Close or moderate linkage to esterase-D (ESD) is excluded.
Genetic population differentiation is typically viewed as differentiation of population means. However, several theories of evolution and speciation postulate that populations differentiate not only with respect to the population means, but also with respect to the effects of alleles within these po
