SAUNDERS,|| AND C. E. RUBIN 1J (From the Department of Medicine, University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle, Wash., and the Department of Medicine, New York University School of Medicine, New York, N. Y.) Summary. The nature of the gastrointestinal absorptive defect for triglycer- ide in three subjects with abetalipoproteinemia has been investigated by studying peroral biopsies of the gastrointestinal mucosa. The following con- clusions were reached. 1) In confirmation of other studies, the abnormal vacuoles within the du- odenal absorptive cells of these individuals were lipophilic. 2) On chemical analysis there was significantly more mucosal lipid than found in normal fasting specimens, and almost the entire increase was due to triglyceride. 3) This excess mucosal lipid was reduced by a low fat diet, but even after 34 days on such a diet there was still an excess of lipophilic material near the villus tip and increased quantities of total lipid and triglyceride when com- pared with material from normal subjects similarly treated. 4) Although there are demonstrable qualitative changes in mucosal and plasma lipids after an acute fat load, they are not quantitatively as great as in normal individuals. Fat balance studies and the qualitative changes in plasma and tissue lipids that do occur after more extended periods on different types of dietary fat do indicate that a considerable percentage of the dietary fat is assimilated. -

Hypocholesterolemia in Patients with Polycythemia Vera
J Clin Exp Hematopathol Vol. 52, No. 2, Oct 2012 Original Article Hypocholesterolemia in Patients with Polycythemia Vera Hiroshi Fujita,1) Tamae Hamaki,2) Naoko Handa,2) Akira Ohwada,2) Junji Tomiyama,2) and Shigeko Nishimura1) Polycythemia vera (PV) is characterized by low serum total cholesterol despite its association with vascular events such as myocardialand cerebralinfarction. Serum cholesterollevelhasnot been used as a diagnostic criterion for PV since the 2008 revision of the WHO classification. Therefore, we revisited the relationship between serum lipid profile, including total cholesterol level, and erythrocytosis. The medical records of 34 erythrocytosis patients (hemoglobin : men, > 18.5 g/dL ; women, > 16.5 g/dL) collected between August 2005 and December 2011 were reviewed for age, gender, and lipid profiles. The diagnoses of PV and non-PV erythrocytosis were confirmed and the in vitro efflux of cholesterol into plasma in whole blood examined. The serum levels of total cholesterol, low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-Ch), and apolipoproteins A1 and B were lower in PV than in non-PV patients. The in vitro release of cholesterol into the plasma was greater in PV patients than in non-PV and non-polycythemic subjects. Serum total cholesterol, LDL-Ch, and apolipoproteins A1 and B levels are lower in patients with PV than in those with non-PV erythrocytosis. The hypocholesterolemia associated with PV may be attributable to the sequestration of circulating cholesterol into the increased number of erythrocytes. 〔J Clin Exp Hematopathol 52(2) : 85-89, 2012〕 Keywords: polycythemia vera, JAK2 V617F mutation, hypocholesterolemia rocytosis without the JAK2 V167F mutation.5 Although the INTRODUCTION serum cholesterol level in PV patients has been studied Polycythemia vera (PV) is classified as a myeloprolifera- previously,6 it has not been used as a diagnostic criterion for tive neoplasm and usually occurs in people aged 60-79 years. -

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a condition with abnormal fat accumulation in the liver without heavy alcohol use. NAFLD is becoming one of the most common liver diseases with the increase in obesity in many parts of the world. There is no approved cure for the disease and a better understanding of disease mechanism is needed for effective prevention and treatment. The nuclear envelope, a membranous structure that surrounds the cell nucleus, is connected to the endoplasmic reticulum where the vast majority of cellular lipids are synthesized. Growing evidence indicates that components in the nuclear envelope are involved in cellular lipid metabolism. We review published studies with various cell and animal models, indicating the essential roles of nuclear envelope proteins in lipid metabolism. We also discuss how defects in these proteins affect cellular lipid metabolism and possibly contribute to the pathogenesis of NAFLD. -

Severe Hypertriglyceridemia in a Patient Heterozygous for a Lipoprotein Lipase Gene Allele with Two Novel Missense Variants
European Journal of Human Genetics (2015) 23, 1259–1261 & 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1018-4813/15 www.nature.com/ejhg SHORT REPORT Severe hypertriglyceridemia in a patient heterozygous for a lipoprotein lipase gene allele with two novel missense variants Ursula Kassner*,1, Bastian Salewsky2,3, Marion Wühle-Demuth1, Istvan Andras Szijarto1, Thomas Grenkowitz1, Priska Binner4, Winfried März4,5,6, Elisabeth Steinhagen-Thiessen1,2 and Ilja Demuth*,2,3 Rare monogenic hyperchylomicronemia is caused by loss-of-function mutations in genes involved in the catabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, including the lipoprotein lipase gene, LPL. Clinical hallmarks of this condition are eruptive xanthomas, recurrent pancreatitis and abdominal pain. Patients with LPL deficiency and severe or recurrent pancreatitis are eligible for the first gene therapy treatment approved by the European Union. Therefore the precise molecular diagnosis of familial hyperchylomicronemia may affect treatment decisions. We present a 57-year-old male patient with excessive hypertriglyceridemia despite intensive lipid-lowering therapy. Abdominal sonography showed signs of chronic pancreatitis. Direct DNA sequencing and cloning revealed two novel missense variants, c.1302A4T and c.1306G4A, in exon 8 of the LPL gene coexisting on the same allele. The variants result in the amino-acid exchanges p.(Lys434Asn) and p.(Gly436Arg). They are located in the carboxy-terminal domain of lipoprotein lipase that interacts with the glycosylphosphatidylinositol- anchored HDL-binding protein (GPIHBP1) and are likely of functional relevance. No further relevant mutations were found by direct sequencing of the genes for APOA5, APOC2, LMF1 and GPIHBP1. We conclude that heterozygosity for damaging mutations of LPL may be sufficient to produce severe hypertriglyceridemia and that chylomicronemia may be transmitted in a dominant manner, at least in some families. -

Participants: The Task Force included a chair selected by The Endocrine Society Clinical Guidelines Subcommittee (CGS), five additional experts in the field, and a methodologist. The authors received no corporate funding or remuneration. Consensus Process: Consensus was guided by systematic reviews of evidence, e-mail discussion, conference calls, and one in-person meeting. The guidelines were reviewed and approved sequen- tially by The Endocrine Society’s CGS and Clinical Affairs Core Committee, members responding to a web posting, and The Endocrine Society Council. At each stage, the Task Force incorporated changes in response to written comments. Conclusions: The Task Force recommends that the diagnosis of hypertriglyceridemia be based on fasting levels, that mild and moderate hypertriglyceridemia (triglycerides of 150–999 mg/dl) be diagnosed to aid in the evaluation of cardiovascular risk, and that severe and very severe hyper- triglyceridemia (triglycerides of Ͼ 1000 mg/dl) be considered a risk for pancreatitis.
