Black-white differences in serum Lp(a) lipoprotein levels
Clin Chim Acta.

Abstract
Serum Lp(a) lipoprotein was determined in 81 black and 81 white healthy men and women matched for sex and age. The results show a highly significant increase of Lp(a) concentrations in blacks as compared to whites, and confirm the notion that Lp(a) lipoprotein levels are race-dependent. Whether high values of Lp(a) play an atherogenic role in blacks remains to be established in further studies.
