Pathophysiology of FCS

Key Takeaways
- LPL gene mutations cause lipoprotein lipase deficiency, impairing triglyceride metabolism and leading to chylomicron accumulation in FCS.
- Severe hypertriglyceridemia in FCS results from dysfunctional lipoprotein lipase due to genetic mutations.
Panelists discuss how genetic mutations, such as mutations in the LPL gene, play a critical role in the pathophysiology of Familial Chylomicronemia Syndrome (FCS) by impairing triglyceride metabolism and increasing the risk of severe hypertriglyceridemia.
Video content above is prompted by the following:
What role does do genetic mutations, such as mutation of the LPL gene, play in the pathophysiology of FCS?
