Type 1 hyperlipoproteinemia (T1HLP) is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder characterized by extreme elevations in serum triglyceride (TG) levels. Despite considerable progress in identifying several causal genes for T1HLP, such as LPL, APOC2, APOA5, LMF1, and GPIHBP1, the molecular basis of some extremely rare patients presenting with T1HLP remains obscure.
