Type I

Type I hyperlipoproteinemia exists in several forms:

• Lipoprotein lipase deficiency (type Ia), due to a deficiency of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) or altered apolipoprotein C2, resulting in elevated chylomicrons, the particles that transfer fatty acids from the digestive tract to the liver
• Familial apoprotein CII deficiency (type Ib), a condition caused by a lack of lipoprotein lipase activator.
• Chylomicronemia due to circulating inhibitor of lipoprotein lipase (type Ic)
