Neonatal diagnosis of Fredrickson type II hyperlipoproteinaemia. 1975

G E Andersen

Cord-serum beta-lipoprotein was measured by an immunological method in 303 children. The blood lipids were studied at 7-9 and 14-19 months after birth. The lipids of both parents were measured. Six children were found to have a greater than 2 SD elevation of beta-lipoprotein at birth. Three of these had hypertriglyceridaemia and 3 had type II hyperlipoproteinaemia. The rapid and quantitative measurement of beta-lipoprotein looks promising for screening of type II hyperlipoproteinaemia at birth.

D008077 Lipoproteins, LDL A class of lipoproteins of small size (18-25 nm) and light (1.019-1.063 g/ml) particles with a core composed mainly of CHOLESTEROL ESTERS and smaller amounts of TRIGLYCERIDES. The surface monolayer consists mostly of PHOSPHOLIPIDS, a single copy of APOLIPOPROTEIN B-100, and free cholesterol molecules. The main LDL function is to transport cholesterol and cholesterol esters to extrahepatic tissues.

D008079 Lipoproteins, VLDL A class of lipoproteins of very light (0.93-1.006 g/ml) large size (30-80 nm) particles with a core composed mainly of TRIGLYCERIDES and a surface monolayer of PHOSPHOLIPIDS and CHOLESTEROL into which are imbedded the apolipoproteins B, E, and C. VLDL facilitates the transport of endogenously made triglycerides to extrahepatic tissues. As triglycerides and Apo C are removed, VLDL is converted to INTERMEDIATE-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS, then to LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS from which cholesterol is delivered to the extrahepatic tissues.
