Abstract
Lipoprotein typing is a widely used method for the broad classification of plasma lipoprotein disorders encountered in clinical practice, though the caveat put forth by its originators, that typing is not equivalent to genotyping (Fredrickson et al. 1967), has been amply demonstrated. Genotypes are, as yet, incompletely described and the techniques required to assign genotype are not easily applicable in large-scale population surveys. Lipoprotein typing depends on relatively simple procedures and thus is also a useful tool for the description of the distribution of lipoprotein abnormalities in large populations.
