Genes affected
LPL (HGNC:6677): (lipoprotein lipase) LPL encodes lipoprotein lipase, which is expressed in heart, muscle, and adipose tissue. LPL functions as a homodimer, and has the dual functions of triglyceride hydrolase and ligand/bridging factor for receptor-mediated lipoprotein uptake. Severe mutations that cause LPL deficiency result in type I hyperlipoproteinemia, while less extreme mutations in LPL are linked to many disorders of lipoprotein metabolism.

Variant summary: The LPL c.430-6C>T variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved intronic nucleotide. 5/5 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. This variant was found in 731/121160 control chromosomes (15 homozygotes) including ExAC, predominantly observed in the Latino subpopulation at a frequency of 0.051182 (589/11508). This frequency is about 15 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic LPL variant (0.0033541), thus this is likely a benign polymorphism found primarily in the populations of Latino origin. It has also been reported in hypertriglyceridemia patients but without evidence of causality and functional assay indicated that this variant does not affect gene splicing (Nakamura_1996). One clinical diagnostic laboratory (via ClinVar) has classified this variant as likely benign. Taken together, this variant is classified as benign.
