title: Linkage between the loci for the Lp(a) lipoprotein (LP) and plasminogen (PLG).
abstract: A locus, LP, that determines quantitative variation of Lp(a) lipoprotein phenotypes is linked to the plasminogen (PLG) locus (peak lod score = 12.73). This linkage relationship assigns a locus with alleles that have an affect on risk for coronary artery disease to the long arm of chromosome 6.
