Panel a, distribution of Lp(a) concentration in 6218 individuals from the two population-based studies KORA F3 and F4. Panel b, median Lp(a) concentrations in various groups of subjects stratified by the number of KIV repeats and genotypes of SNP rs10455872; 11–22 KIV repeats are considered as low molecular weight (LMW) or small apo(a) isoforms and those with >22 KIV repeats are considered as high molecular weight (HMW) or large apo(a) isoforms.
