High plasma levels of Lp(a) increase the risk for premature atherosclerotic vessel diseases. We investigated the little-characterized role of Lp(a) as a risk factor for venous thromboembolic diseases, alone and in conjunction with established thrombophilic risk factors of proteins regulating blood coagulation and fibrinolysis.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:italic>Methods and Results<\/jats:italic>\n            \u2014Serum levels of Lp(a) and lipids, protein C, protein S, and antithrombin, as well as the size of apo(a) isoforms and the presence of the factor V:Q\n            <jats:sup>506<\/jats:sup>\n            mutation, were determined in 186 consecutively admitted children from neonates to 18 years old with a history of venous thrombosis and in 186 age- and disease-matched control subjects. Children with a history of venous thrombosis had a significantly higher median Lp(a) level (19 versus 4.4 mg\/dL) than control subjects. The risk for thromboembolic events in children with Lp(a) levels in the upper quartile, ie, &gt;30 mg\/dL, was 7.2 (95% CI, 3.7 to 14.5). The size of apo(a) isoforms was inversely related to Lp(a) levels and to the risk for thromboembolic events. Compared with the highest quartile of the apo(a) size distribution, the lowest quartile was associated with a risk of 8.2. In addition, multivariate statistical analysis gives evidence that the factor V:Q\n            <jats:sup>506<\/jats:sup>\n            mutation (OR\/CI, 2.8\/1.6 to 4.9), protein C (OR\/CI, 6.5\/2.1 to 19), and antithrombin deficiency (OR\/CI, 10.4\/1.2 to 90) were independent risk factors of childhood venous thrombosis.
