Lipoprotein(a) plasma levels are not associated with incident microvascular complications in type 2 diabetes mellitus

Conclusions/interpretationOur data show no association between Lp(a) plasma levels and theLPA SNPs with known effect on Lp(a) plasma levels with the development of microvascular complications in type 2 diabetes. This indicates that Lp(a) does not play a major role in the development of microvascular complications. However, larger studies are needed to exclude minimal effects of Lp(a) on the development of microvascular complications.
