Co-occurrence of heterozygous CREB3L3 and APOA5 nonsense variants and polygenic risk in a patient with severe hypertriglyceridemia exacerbated by estrogen administration.

Abstract excerpt

We describe a case of a 36-year-old woman with severe hypertriglyceridemia likely caused by double heterozygosity of a known pathogenic APOA5 nonsense variant (p.Q275X) and a novel CREB3L3 nonsense variant (p.C296X) on a background of very strong polygenic susceptibility. Her clinical course worsened with development of eruptive xanthomata after oral administration of 2 mg estradiol twice daily for 2 weeks as...
