The longitudinal triglyceride phenotype in heterozygotes with LPL pathogenic variants.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Biallelic pathogenic variants in lipoprotein lipase (LPL) cause familial chylomicronemia syndrome with severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG), defined as plasma triglycerides (TG) > 10 mmol/L (> 885 mg/dL). TG levels in individuals with one copy of a pathogenic LPL gene variant is less familiar; some assume that the phenotype is intermediate between homozygotes and controls. OBJECTIVE: We undertook an...
