• LPL-FCS patients aged 2-9 years needed to restrict dietary LCT intakes to <20en%. • LPL-FCS patients under 2 years needed to restrict dietary LCT intakes to <10en%. • In patients under 9 years, TG levels and LCT intakes were positively correlated. • MCT securely offered extra energy to children with LPL-FCS. • Nine novel variants in LPL expanded the genetic profile of LPL-FCS. Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) deficiency, the most common familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS), is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by chylomicronemia and severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG), with limited clinical and genetic characterization. To describe the manifestations and management of 19 pediatric patients with LPL-FCS. LPL-FCS patients from 2014 to 2022 were divided into low-fat (LF), very-low-fat (VLF) and medium-chain-triglyceride (MCT) groups. Their clinical data were evaluated to investigate the effect of different diets. The genotype-phenotype relationship was assessed. Linear regression comparing long-chain triglyceride (LCT) intake and TG levels was analyzed. Nine novel LPL variants were identified in 19 LPL-FCS pediatric patients. At baseline, eruptive xanthomas occurred in 3/19 patients, acute pancreatitis in 2/19, splenomegaly in 6/19 and hepatomegaly in 3/19. The median triglyceride (TG) level (30.3 mmol/L) was markedly increased. The MCT group and VLF group with LCT intakes <20 en% (energy percentage) had considerably lower TG levels than the LF group (both p <0.05). The LF group presented with severe HTG and significantly decreased TG levels after restricting LCT intakes to <20 en% (p <0.05). Six infants decreased TG levels to <10 mmol/L by keeping LCT intake <10 en%. TG levels and LCT intake were positively correlated in both patients under 2 years (r=0.84) and those aged 2-9 years (r=0.89). No genotype-phenotype relationship was observed. This study broadens the clinical and genetic spectra of LPL-FCS. The primary therapy for LPL-FCS pediatric patients is restricting dietary LCTs to <10 en% or <20 en% depending on different ages. MCTs potentially provide extra energy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
