Elevated levels of Lipoprotein(a), (Lp(a)), are considered to be both a causal risk factor and major independent genetic marker of atherosclerotic disorders. What differentiates Lipoprotein(a) testing is that the association between higher Lipoprotein(a) levels and increased CVD risk is continuous and does not depend on raised LDL levels or non-HDL cholesterol, or other CVD risk factors.
