FIGURE 3. Association of Genetically Lowered Lp(a) (1 SD Decrease) with Cardiometabolic Quantitative Traits.

FIGURE 3

Genetically lowered Lp(a) was associated with reductions in total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol as well as improved kidney function. There were no other significant associations seen between 1 SD decrease in Lp(a) and other traits measured. BMI = body mass index; DBP = diastolic blood pressure; eGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rate; HbA1c = glycosylated hemoglobin; HDL = high-density lipoprotein; SBP = systolic blood pressure; SNP = single nucleotide polymorphism; other abbreviations as in Figures 1 and 2.
