Question 2

As part of a lipoprotein phenotyping, it is necessary to perform total cholesterol and triglyceride determinations, as well as lipoprotein electrophoresis. The test results obtained from such studies were:

Triglyceride, 340 mg/dL (reference range, < 150 mg/dL)
Total cholesterol, 180 mg/dL (reference range, < 200 mg/dL)
Pre-beta-lipoprotein fraction increased
Beta-lipoprotein fraction normal
No chylomicrons present
Serum appearance turbid
The best explanation for these results would be that the individual exhibits a phenotype indicative of:
A) Type I hyperlipoproteinemi a
B) Type II hyperlipoproteinemi a
C) Type III hyperlipoproteinemi a
D) Type IV hyperlipoproteinemi a
E) Type V hyperlipoproteinemi a
