Familial Chylomicronemia Syndrome
Familial Chylomicronemia Syndrome Market

Familial Chylomicronemia Syndrome (FCS) is a rare genetic lipid disorder, which is characterized by an increase in the triglycerides (TGs) level due to a reduction in the LPL, which is an enzyme that helps to break down chylomicrons (CMs) in the body. The reduction in the LPL leads to the buildup of CMs, which are rich in triglycerides. 


The normal TGs levels are <150 mg/dL (or 1.7 mmol/L), but in FCS, the TGs level increases about 10 to 20 times from the normal level. It is also known as lipoprotein lipase deficiency (LPLD), Type 1 hyperlipoproteinemia, endogenous hypertriglyceridemia, familial fat-induced hypertriglyceridemia, familial hyperchylomicronemia, and familial LPL deficiency, hyperlipidemia Type I (fredrickson), hyperlipoproteinemia Type IA, lipase D deficiency, and Burger-Grutz syndrome.
