Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] has attracted the interest of researchers and physicians due to its intriguing properties, including an intragenic multiallelic copy number variation in the LPA gene and the strong association with coronary heart disease (CHD). This review summarizes present knowledge of the structure, function, and genetics of Lp(a) with emphasis on the molecular and population genetics...

Genetics and insurance is an area unusually exposed to rapid scientific advance, close public and political scrutiny, and popular myth. It may be leading the way towards evidence-based underwriting. This survey paper describes some of the experience gained since actuarial involvement began in the mid-1990s, particularly the vital link with genetic epidemiology. We survey the relevant aims and o...

Conventional genetic analysis focuses on the genes that account for specific phenotypes, while traditional epidemiology is more concerned with the environmental causes and risk factors related to traits. Genetic epidemiology is an alliance of the 2 fields that focuses on both genetics, including allelic variants in different populations, and environment, in order to explain exactly how genes co...
