Abstract

The prevention of atherosclerosis implies a better knowledge of dyslipoproteinemias. The metabolic disease must first be defined before considering its treatment and evaluate the atherogenic risk. The clinician must take advantage of two different classifications. The WHO classification (WHO: World Health Organization) permits to consider six phenotypes (I, IIa, IIb, III, IV, V), according to the serum levels of cholesterol and triglycerides. The genetic classification permits to relate one or several genetic anomaly to these phenotypes. The main clinical and biological characteristics of primary dyslipoproteinemias are summarily reported.
