Multifactorial chylomicronemia syndrome (MCS or type V hyperlipoproteinemia) is the most
frequent cause of severe hypertriglyceridemia and is associated with an increased risk of …

Familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of
chylomicron metabolism causing severe elevation of triglyceride (TG) levels (> 10 mmol L …

The prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia has been increasing worldwide. Attention is drawn
to the fact that the frequency of a special hypertriglyceridemia entity, named …

We have reviewed the genetic basis of chylomicronaemia, the difference between
monogenic and polygenic hypertriglyceridaemia, its effects on pancreatic, cardiovascular …

Background Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is the rate-limiting enzyme for triglyceride hydrolysis.
Homozygous or compound heterozygous LPL variants cause autosomal recessive familial …

Context Severe hypertriglyceridemia (fasting triglycerides [TG] concentration≥ 10 mmol/L)
can be caused by multifactorial chylomicronemia syndrome (MCS) or familial …

This chapter summarises, and updates, lipid metabolism. Both pathways, exogenous
metabolisms route via the chylomicrons, and the endogenous pathway of very low-density …

Background The aim of this study is to confirm the diagnostic performance of the
Chylomicron to very low‐density lipoproteins triglycerides (CM/VLDL‐TG) ratio, the …

Although elevated serum low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) is without any doubts
accepted as an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), the role of elevated …

Background Familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) is a rare, hereditary, metabolic
disorder. FCS causes high levels of triglycerides in the blood, which can lead to abdominal …
