LIPI and hypertriglyceridemia: Interestingly, sequencing of the human LIPI (LPDL) gene in 186 individuals with hypertriglyceridemia and 232 controls identified a nonsynonymous coding SNP 164G>A (C55Y) in two patients withhypertriglyceridemia, indicating that this rare missense mutation in the exon 2 of the LIPI gene might be associated with an elevated triglycerides level [34].
