Genetic variants, plasma lipoprotein(a) levels, and risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality among two prospective cohorts of type 2 diabetes.

Abstract

Our data indicate that the effect of Lp(a) on CVD risk among diabetic patients might be different from that in the general population.

Diabetes status may attenuate the relation between Lp(a) and cardiovascular risk.
