  • Familial Lipoprotein Lipase Deficiency

Lipoprotein lipase deficiency (also known as "familial chylomicronemia syndrome",[1] "chylomicronemia",[2] "chylomicronemia syndrome"[3] and "hyperlipoproteinemia type Ia"[4]) is caused by a mutation in the gene which codes lipoprotein lipase.[2]:533 As a result, afflicted individuals lack the ability to produce lipoprotein lipase enzymes necessary for effective breakdown of fatty acids.

Incidence

The disorder affects about 1 out of 1,000,000 people.[5]

Treatment

In 2012, the European Commission approved Glybera, a gene therapy treatment for chylomicronemia.[6] The product will be available for sale in Germany in early 2015. Glybera was developed by uniQuire and will be marketed by Chiesi Group.[7]

Patient empowerment

In October 2012, 3 officially recognised patient groups (Heart UK, CholCo & Association Pancréatites Chroniques) joined together to launch an international online patient community for Lipoprotein Lipase Deficiency on the RareConnect.org platform.[8]
