Hypertriglyceridemia, Familial

Description

Most individuals with familial hypertriglyceridemia have a hyperlipoproteinemia IV (OMIM ) phenotype. Relatives of affected persons (ascertained in a study of survivors of coronary occlusion) were found to have normal cholesterol distribution and bimodal triglyceride distribution (Goldstein et al., 1973). Hypertriglyceridemia is not completely expressed in affected children. Genetic Heterogeneity of HypertriglyceridemiaHypertriglyceridemia has many causes but, whatever its cause, there is evidence for its role as a coronary heart disease risk factor. Hypertriglyceridemia is commonly found in individuals with type II diabetes mellitus (OMIM ). Several genetic bases for hypertriglyceridemia have been identified. Familial combined hyperlipidemia (HYPLIP1 ) is due to variation in the USF1 gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 1q21-q23. Some mutations in the ABCA1 gene (OMIM ) caused Tangier disease (OMIM ), whereas others caused a mild disorder called type II familial high density lipoprotein deficiency, or hypoalphalipoproteinemia (OMIM ). Both disorders are associated with hypertriglyceridemia.
