Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) subclass phenotype B, characterized by a predominance of small, dense LDL particles, appears to be a genetically influenced risk factor for coronary heart disease. Phenotype B, as determined by gradient gel electrophoresis, appears to be inherited in a manner consistent
A common heritable phenotype has recently been identified which is characterized by a relative abundance of small, dense low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and mild elevations of plasma triglycerides and reductions in plasma high-density lipoproteins (HDL) cholesterol. This phenotype, designated LDL su
