Lipoprotein lipase deficiency Classification and external resources ICD-10 E78 OMIM 238600 DiseasesDB 4697 MedlinePlus 000408 MeSH D008072 GeneReviews Familial Lipoprotein Lipase Deficiency Lipoprotein lipase deficiency (also known as "chylomicronemia,",[1] "chylomicronemia syndrome"[2] and "hyperlipoproteinemia type Ia"[3]) is caused by a mutation in the gene which codes lipoprotein lipase.[1]:533. As a result, afflicted individuals lack the ability to produce lipoprotein lipase enzymes necessary for effective breakdown of fatty acids.
