The lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a) concentrations in serum were measured by an ELISA technique in 53 subjects affected by familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL) and in 347 healthy individuals. Lp(a) geometric means did not differ significantly between the two groups despite the different distributions. In hyperlipidemic subjects, the distribution was markedly shifted to the right (median 17 mg/dl) while in controls it was highly skewed to the left (median = 11 mg/dl). In FCHL, Lp(a) serum levels did not differ between patients with or without coronary heart disease (CHD). It was concluded that, differently from familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), in FCHL Lp(a) may not be elevated in comparison with an adequate control population.

D006950 Hyperlipidemia, Familial Combined A type of familial lipid metabolism disorder characterized by a variable pattern of elevated plasma CHOLESTEROL and/or TRIGLYCERIDES. Multiple genes on different chromosomes may be involved, such as the major late transcription factor (UPSTREAM STIMULATORY FACTORS) on CHROMOSOME 1.

D008055 Lipids A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids.

D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
