Carriage of the V279F Null Allele within the Gene Encoding Lp-PLA(2) Is Protective from Coronary Artery Disease in South Korean Males

BACKGROUND: The Asia-specific PLA2G7 994G-T transversion leads to V279F substitution within the lipoprotein-associated phospholipase-A2 (Lp-PLA(2)) and to absence of enzyme activity in plasma. This variant offers a unique natural experiment to assess the role of Lp-PLA(2) in the pathogenesis of coro...
