Hypoalphalipoproteinemias, also called familial high density lipoprotein deficiency disease and HDL lipoprotein deficiency disease, are defined as "conditions with abnormally low levels of alpha-lipoproteins (high-density lipoproteins) in the blood. Hypoalphalipoproteinemia can be associated with mutations in genes encoding apolipoprotein A-I; lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase; and ATP-binding cassette transporters."[1] This causes hypertriglyceridemia.
Treatment
Using gemfibrozil to treat hypoalphalipoproteinemia may reduce major cardiovascular events[2] and stroke[3] and in men with known men with known coronary heart disease.
Using simvastatin plus niacin to treat hypoalphalipoproteinemia may reduce cardiovascular event in men with coronary heart disease.[4]
