The primary hyperlipidemias are states in which the plasma lipid abnormalities are frequently related to a genetic defect, in contrast to hyperlipidemias secondary to specific metabolic disorders. The importance of these primary hyperlipidemias in the development of atherosclerosis has been well recognized (1-4).In differentiating the various types of hyperlipidemia, extensive investigations have been made of the serum lipoproteins and serum lipids of hyperlipidemic patients (5-10).
