Lipoprotein Lipase: Structure, Function, and Genetic Variation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Biallelic rare pathogenic loss-of-function (LOF) variants in lipoprotein lipase (LPL) cause familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS). Heterozygosity for these same variants is associated with a highly variable plasma triglyceride (TG) phenotype ranging from normal to severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG), with longitudinal variation in phenotype severity seen often in a given carrier. Here, we provide an updated overview of genetic variation in LPL in the context of HTG, with a focus on disease-causing and/or disease-associated variants. We provide a curated list of 300 disease-causing variants discovered in LPL, as well as an exon-by-exon breakdown of the LPL gene and protein, highlighting the impact of variants and the various functional residues of domains of the LPL protein. We also provide a curated list of variants of unknown or uncertain significance, many of which may be upgraded to pathogenic/likely pathogenic classification should an additional case and/or segregation data be reported. Finally, we also review the association between benign/likely benign variants in LPL, many of which are common polymorphisms, and the TG phenotype.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
