Gofman’s associates Frank Lindgren and Alexander Nicholls further characterized the structure, function, and metabolic roles of lipoproteins, while Richard Havel used the preparative ultracentrifuge for the implementation of lipoprotein determinations in research. 2 Subsequently, a clinical classification system for human dyslipidemias was proposed by Donald Fredrickson, Robert Levy, and Robert Lees in 1967 with the expectation that the biochemical phenotypes would eventually be shown to have a molecular genetic basis. 3 We now appreciate that only 2 of the 6 Frederickson phenotypes, namely type 1 hyperlipoproteinemia or familial chylomicronemia syndrome, and the subset of type 2A patients with monogenic familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), are discrete single-gene disorders, while the remainder including type 3 (dysbetalipoproteinemia) are largely polygenic in nature. Since the 1970s, countless researchers have pieced together the mechanisms linking LDL to atherogenesis including its roles in (1) formation of macrophage-derived foam cells through phagocytic uptake of aggregated LDL particles in which components have been modified (eg, by oxidation);(2) release of bioactive proinflammatory lipids with local and systemic effects;(3) formation of extracellular lipid deposits (eg, cholesterol crystals);(4) inducing both innate and adaptive immune responses;(5) inducing expression of prothrombotic genes;(6) impairing cellular efferocytosis in arterial plaques; and (7) contributing to arterial plaque erosion and rupture, among others. 4 Thousands of manuscripts evaluating these pathways, published in American Heart Association journals including Circulation, Circulation Research, and Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology, have built the experimental case that LDL is causal for ASCVD. 4 LDL is the terminal product of remodeling of other plasma lipoproteins, beginning with hepatically secreted VLDL (very low-density lipoprotein). To scale-up the diagnostic application of LDL cholesterol (LDL-C), it was necessary to bypass ultracentrifugation methodology
