Abstract excerpt
Severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is genetically heterogeneous, but its genetic architecture remains incompletely characterized. We investigated the genetic determinants of severe HTG in 123 patients with triglyceride (TG) levels > 5.0 mmol/L and available NGS data. We analyzed rare variants in LPL, APOC2, APOA5, GPIHBP1, LMF1, and APOE; the ε2/ε2 APOE genotype; and TG-polygenic risk score (PRS) based on 40...
