Abstract
The prevalence of rare LPL variants in patients with severe or moderate HTG, referred to tertiary lipid clinics, was 50/149 (33.5%) and 6/106 (5.6%), respectively. Systematic analysis of relatives of mutation carriers is an efficient way to identify heterozygotes who may develop severe HTG.
