The dyslipidemia profile typically observed in obese and diabetic individuals is generally similar and includes high triglycerides (≥200 mg/dL), non-HDL-C, and Apo B levels, increased levels of small, dense LDL-C particles, although often, relatively normal levels of LDL-C, and low HDL-C levels (<40 mg/dL in men and <50 mg/dL in women) [7,8]. The gene discussed is APOB; the disease is metabolic syndrome.
