Postprandial Fatty Acid Metabolism in Subjects With Lipoprotein Lipase Deficiency

Lipoprotein Lipase Deficiency

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is an enzyme that plays an important role in removing triglycerides (TG) (molecules that transport dietary fat) from the blood. Patients with LPL deficiency (LPLD) display during their whole life very high plasma TG levels often associated with episodes of postprandial abdominal pain, malaise, blurred vision, dizziness (hyperchylomicronemia syndrome) that may lead to recurrent pancreatitis episodes. Because of their very slow clearance in blood of their chylomicron-TG, these patients need to severely restrict their dietary fat intake to avoid these complications. Fortunately, novel treatments are being developed to circumvent LPL deficiency (LPLD) metabolic effect on chylomicron-TG clearance. However, there is no data on how LPLD affect organ-specific dietary fatty acid metabolism nor how the novel therapeutic agents may change this metabolism. For example, it is currently not understood how subjects with LPLD store their DFA into adipose tissues and whether they are able to use DFA as a fuel to sustain their cardiac metabolism, as healthy individuals do. This study aims to better understand theses two questions.

Study of ARO-APOC3 in Adults With Familial Chylomicronemia Syndrome (FCS)

Familial Chylomicronemia

The purpose or AROAPOC3-3001 is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ARO-APOC3 in adult participants with familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS). Participants who have met all eligibility criteria will be randomized to receive 4 doses of ARO-APOC3 or matching placebo administered subcutaneously. Participants who complete the randomized period will continue in a 2-year open-label extension period where all participants will receive ARO-APOC3.

Baby Detect : Genomic Newborn Screening

Congenital Adrenal HyperplasiaFamilial Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycemia 1134 more

Newborn screening (NBS) is a global initiative of systematic testing at birth to identify babies with pre-defined severe but treatable conditions. With a simple blood test, rare genetic conditions can be easily detected, and the early start of transformative treatment will help avoid severe disabilities and increase the quality of life. Baby Detect Project is an innovative NBS program using a panel of target sequencing that aims to identify 126 treatable severe early onset genetic diseases at birth caused by 361 genes. The list of diseases has been established in close collaboration with the Paediatricians of the University Hospital in Liege. The investigators use dedicated dried blood spots collected between the first day and 28 days of life of babies, after a consent sign by parents.

Glybera Registry, Lipoprotein Lipase Deficient (LPLD) Patients

Lipoprotein Lipase DeficiencyFamilial Hyperlipoproteinemia Type 11 more

Lipoprotein lipase deficiency (LPLD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder, characterized by loss-of function mutations in the LPL gene, leading to the inability to produce functionally active lipoprotein lipase (LPL). LPL is the key enzyme in the metabolism of triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins (chylomicrons (CM) and very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL)). LPLD results in extremely high concentrations of circulating TG-rich lipoproteins. No drug therapy for LPLD is currently available. Clinical management of LPLD patients consists of severe dietary fat restriction and the use of medium-chain triglycerides to substitute for normal dietary fats. Alipogene tiparvovec (Glybera®) received marketing authorisation from the European commission on 25 October 2012. Glybera® aims to correct lipoprotein lipase deficiency sufficiently to decrease the morbidity and lower the risk of inherent complications of LPLD, in adult patients genetically diagnosed with LPLD. The Glybera Registry is designed to collect the long-term safety and efficacy data of GLYBERA®

Orlistat for the Treatment of Type I Hyperlipoproteinemia

Hyperlipoproteinemia Type IHypertriglyceridemia

Patients with Type I Hyperlipoproteinemia (T1HLP) have a rare form of hypertriglyceridemia marked by significant chylomicronemia and recurrent episodes of acute pancreatitis. T1HLP is caused by a deficiency of lipoprotein lipase or one of its cofactors. Many patients are a challenge to treat, as the only effective therapy available is an extremely low fat diet. This diet is exceedingly difficult to follow, and despite adherence, many patients still have chylomicronemia and develop acute pancreatitis. Specific Aim: To determine the efficacy of a gastric and pancreatic lipase inhibitor, Orlistat, in reducing serum triglyceride levels in patients with T1HLP.
