Association between KIV-2 CN estimates and Lp(a) measurement (in nmol/L): A The mean Lp(a) level vs CN quartiles for African-American (p-value = 4.03e-47) and European-American (p-value = 2.15e-46) samples from ARIC cohort, and Hispanic-American samples from HCHS/SOL cohort (p-value = 2.64e-42). B The mean LPA KIV-2 CN vs Lp(a) levels of three groups based on their diagnostic cutoff values of Lipid level i.e. < 75 nmol/L as low, > 125 nmol/L as high and in between 75 nmol/L and 125 nmol/L as medium. C Allele specific scatterplot of allele CN differences for KIV-2 CN and their impact on diagnostic cutoff values of Lipid levels per population. Allele 2 (Y-axis) is always reported as the smaller allele
