Pseudohomozygous type II hyperlipoproteinemia [PDF]
A 12-month-old boy with clinical findings suggestive of homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, who had no secondary causes of hypercholesterolemia, and whose parents had no lipid abnormalities, was reported. No abnormalities were noted in the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor activities of the fibroblasts from patient, parents and sibling.

The metabolism of low density lipoprotein in familial type II hyperlipoproteinemia [PDF]
The metabolism of low density lipoprotein (LDL, beta lipoprotein) was studied in 10 normal individuals and 10 patients with familial type II hyperlipoproteinemia using purified radioiodinated LDL. Over 97% of the label was bound to the protein moiety of LDL and therefore the turnover data reflect the fate and distribution of LDL-apoprotein.

ABSTRACT Elevated Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) is a known independent cardiovascular risk factor. Lp(a) Lipoprotein Apheresis (LA) substantially reduces the number of cardiovascular events. The effect of LA treatment in hemodialysis (HD) patients remains unknown. Retrospective analysis of nine patients undergoing LA and HD.
