Dysbetalipoproteinaemia: a mixed hyperlipidaemia of remnant lipoproteins due to mutations in apolipoprotein E.

Abstract excerpt

Atherosclerosis is strongly associated with dyslipoproteinaemia, and especially with increasing concentrations of low-density lipoprotein and decreasing concentrations of high-density lipoproteins. Its association with increasing concentrations of plasma triglyceride is less clear but, within the mixed hyperlipidaemias, dysbetalipoproteinaemia (Fredrickson type III hyperlipidaemia) has been identified as a very...
