Abstract
The genetic defects of lipoprotein metabolism give rise to a group of syndromes that are most frequently classified according to abnormal concentrations of one or more of the major classes of lipoproteins in plasma (chylomicrons, VLDL, LDL or HDL), e.g. hyperchylomicronaemia, also known as Type I or V, hyperLDL (or hyper-β) lipoproteinaemia, also known as Type II, etc. The advantages of this nosology are that:
-
1.
Its principles are easy to grasp and hence to explain,
-
2.
Clinical laboratories are able to report abnormal concentrations in plasma because the laboratory measurements are relatively simple, subject to quality control and widely available, and
-
3.
Current diet and drug therapies are based primarily on this classification.
