Correlation between apo B and Lp(a) in control and patients with hypercholesterolemia. The relationship between apo B and Lp(a) in control (pink, n = 257) and hypercholesterolemia (blue, n = 238) cohorts was examined. A linear trendline and the associated Pearson correlation coefficient and P value for the control (r = 0.175; P = 0.005) and FH cohorts (r = 0.103; P = 0.112) are displayed here. The observed trend indicates that apo B and Lp(a) are marginally correlated in the control group only, with no significant relationship observed in the FH cohort. apo B, apolipoprotein B; FH, familial hypercholesterolemia; Lp(a), Lipoprotein(a).
