Chylomicronemia is a lipid disorder characterized by extremely elevated cholesterol and triglycerides. Lipid electrophoresis reveal chylomicrons as the major lipoprotein.
For isolated lipoprotein lipase deficiency (LPLD) a new drug, tiparvovec, is undergoing clinical tests. It is injected intramuscularily where it substitutes the lacking enzyme.
