Lipoprotein 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 کاملHigh -density lipoprotein cholesterol as a predictor for diabetes mellitus
Background: Diabetes is a prevalent chronic disease around the world. To evaluate risk of diabetes comprehensively, we developed a score model for the risk prediction with HDL-C as a protective factor. Methods: We extracted physical examination data of 2728 individuals. The data contain 18 demographic and clinical variables. To identify the statistical significant feature variables, the backwa...
متن کاملThe unique lipoprotein(a): properties and immunochemical measurement.
Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] represents a class of lipoprotein particles defined by the presence of apolipoprotein(a), a unique glycoprotein linked by a disulfide bond to apolipoprotein B-100 to form a single macromolecule. Apolipoprotein(a) is formed by three different structural domains having high amino acid sequence homology with plasminogen. One of the domains, called kringle 4, is present in m...
متن کاملLipoprotein apheresis to treat elevated lipoprotein (a).
An elevated plasma concentration of lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Life style modification and currently available drugs either fail to effectively lower plasma Lp(a) levels or do not result in clinical benefit. However, lipoprotein apheresis is very efficient in decreasing Lp(a) concentrations. A single apheresis session can acutely decrease L...
متن کاملLipoprotein (a)
Lipoprotein little a (small case a as opposed to a capital A) has been confusing lipidologists for a long, long time since it was first discovered in 1963. It seems to be a risk factor in some people and not in others and race is involved. Over time the data associating Lp(a) with CV risk has gotten stronger and stronger and current opinion is until proven otherwise that Lp(a) is an independent...
