In 60 801 patients
with coronary heart disease and 123 504 controls, OR for myocardial infarction was 0 · 96 (0 · 94 - 0 · 98; p < 0 · 0001) per 1 - SD increment in apolipoprotein (a) protein
isoform size in serum due to rs2457564, which was directionally concordant
with the OR observed in PROMIS for a similar change.
This could be interpreted as UNC - 7L and UNC - 9 forming heteromeric channels,

isoforms (as this dictates the rectification of Gj0), but Vj gating properties dominated by UNC - 7L (as this dictates the shape of the Gj ∞ plot).
Methods: In this mendelian randomisation study, we measured lipoprotein (a) concentration and determined apolipoprotein (a)
isoform size
