Familial chylomicronemia syndrome

1. Familial chylomicronemia syndrome raises the risk of acute pancreatitis in humans (plasma triglycerides >10 mmol/L) (plasma triglycerides >10 mmol/L; high risk).

   “Patients with FCS exhibit markedly elevated plasma triglyceride levels (>10mmol/L) and are at high risk for acute pancreatitis.”

1. LPL is associated with familial chylomicronemia syndrome in humans (mutations in lipoprotein lipase or its cofactors).

   “Familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) is a major form of genetic hypertriglyceridemia caused by mutations in genes encoding lipoprotein lipase or one of its cofactors”
