Popis: ABSTRACT Objective: The study aims to explore the relationship between lipoprotein lipase (LPL) variants and hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis (HLAP) in the southeastern Chinese population. Subjects and methods: In total, 80 participants were involved in this study (54 patients with HLAP and 26 controls). All coding regions and intron-exon boundaries of the LPL gene were sequenced. The correlations between variants and phenotypes were also analysed. Results: The rate of rare LPL variants in the HLAP group is 14.81% (8 of 54), higher than in controls. Among the detected four variants (rs3735959, rs371282890, rs761886494 and rs761265900), the most common variant was rs371282890. Further analysis demonstrated that subjects with rs371282890 "GC" genotype had a 2.843-fold higher risk for HLAP (odds ratio [OR]: 2.843, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.119-7.225, p = 0.028) than subjects with the "CC" genotype. After adjusting for sex, the association remained significant (adjusted OR: 3.083, 95% CI: 1.208-7.869, p = 0.018). Subjects with rs371282890 "GC" genotype also exhibited significantly elevated total cholesterol, triglyceride and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in all the participants and the HLAP group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Detecting rare variants in LPL might be valuable for identifying higher-risk patients with HLAP and guiding future individualised therapeutic strategies.
