Phenotype in Individuals with Heterozygous Rare Variants in LIPC Encoding Hepatic Lipase.

Abstract excerpt

Hepatic lipase deficiency is a rare genetic condition caused by biallelic loss-of-function variants in the LIPC gene encoding hepatic lipase. These variants reduce or abolish the protein's lipolytic activity, resulting in elevated plasma lipids. The condition is classified as autosomal recessive, since dyslipidemia is inconsistently observed in heterozygous patients with only one LIPC variant. However, this has...
