Familial chylomicronemia (type I hyperlipoproteinemia) due to a single missense mutation in the lipoprotein lipase gene.
Complete deficiency of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) causes the chylomicronemia syndrome. To understand the molecular basis of LPL deficiency, two siblings with drastically reduced postheparin plasma lipolytic activities were selected for analysis of their LPL gene. We used the polymerase chain reaction to examine the nine coding LPL exons in the two affected siblings and three relatives. DNA sequen...
متن کاملLipoprotein Lipase (LPL) Gene Mutation: A First Report in Children
Genetic hyperchylomicronemia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of lipoprotein metabolism estimated to affect approximately one per million individuals. We report a case with a rare mutation identified. It’s a genetic chylomicronemia in a Moroccan newborn baby, with massive hypertriglyceridemia and clinical signs of acute pancreatitis. She was a newborn female, first-degree of consanguineou...
متن کاملA missense (Asp250----Asn) mutation in the lipoprotein lipase gene in two unrelated families with familial lipoprotein lipase deficiency.
We have identified the molecular basis for familial lipoprotein lipase (LPL) deficiency in two unrelated families with the syndrome of familial hyperchylomicronemia. All 10 exons of the LPL gene were amplified from the two probands' genomic DNA by polymerase chain reaction. In family 1 of French descent, direct sequencing of the amplification products revealed that the patient was heterozygous ...
متن کاملFamilial chylomicronemia due to a circulating inhibitor of lipoprotein lipase activity.
A mother and her son who have lipoprotein phenotype I are described. They differed from subjects with lipoprotein lipase deficiency in that lipoprotein lipase was present in adipose tissue respectively at 30- and 2-fold the levels seen in normal subjects, and from subjects with apoprotein C-II deficiency in that apoprotein C-II was present in their plasma. They appeared to have an inhibitor to ...
متن کاملPremature atherosclerosis in patients with familial chylomicronemia caused by mutations in the lipoprotein lipase gene.
BACKGROUND Patients with lipoprotein lipase deficiency usually present with chylomicronemia in childhood. The syndrome has been considered nonatherogenic primarily because of the low levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. We prospectively evaluated patients with lipoprotein lipase deficiency for atherosclerosis. METHODS Evidence of carotid, peripheral, and coronary atheroscleros...
