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
