Dyslipoproteinemia and Xanthomatosis

Pediatric Dermatology, 1984
Abstract: The cutaneous markers associated with dyslipoproteinemia are reviewed in the context of the current view of lipid and lipoprotein metabolism. The utility of determining the plasma levels of lipoprotcins and certain apoproteins in children or adults with xanthomas or xanthelasma is discussed.
