Abstract
Lp(a) is a cardiovascular risk factor influenced by the LPA gene and apo(a) isoforms. Their relationship is not always linear and there are discordant phenotypes, for this reason in our work we evaluated the association between apo(a) isoforms and Lp(a) levels in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). To this end, 43 patients with ACS and Lp(a) > 50 mg/dL were studied. The isoforms were characterized in 12 bands by Western blotting. The association between bands and Lp(a) concentrations was evaluated by statistical analysis. It was observed that the intermediate molecular weight bands (b5-b8) were the most frequent, with band 8 predominating. No significant association was found between isoform size and Lp(a) levels (P > .05). We conclude that in this cohort no correlation was observed between apo(a) and Lp(a) isoforms. Other genetic or regulatory mechanisms could explain the observed variability, supporting the need for larger studies.
