Primary hypertriglyceridemia can be due to chylomicronemia syndrome [1, 2], associated with underlying deficiency of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) or apoprotein C-II [1, 3], whereas secondary hypertriglyceridemia is associated with diabetes mellitus, chronic drug abuse, exogenous estrogen or tamoxifen use, and pregnancy [2]. Here, LPL is linked to hypertriglyceridemia.
