  masonkingcobra I think you need to know that ApoCII activates LPL not necessarily know the disease +9 2019-06-02T01:20:17Z
  pg32 Mnemonic for these 4 types of dyslipidemias and their causes: 1 = LP meaning LPL is deficient (or anything associated with activating LPL, like C-II) 2 = LD meaning LDLR is deficient (or anything involved in interacting with LDLR, like B-100) 3 = E meaning ApoE is defective and 4 for more (VLDL) ("more" just meaning more letters in the cause (VLDL oversecretion)) +1 2020-01-19T20:53:07Z

  ApoC2 defect as already explained in the other comments is Type 1 hyperchylonmicronemia with increased TG and chylomicrons, creamy layer in the supernatant, and is associated with pancreatitis and eruptive xanthomas.
  LDL receptors are defective in Type 2 which is associated with a MI before age 29 20, accelerated atherosclerosis and increased LDL levels.
  Someone with a pancreatic lipase defect will probably have pancreatitis and have increased triglycerides in their stool because pancreatic lipase can break down the TG into FFA.
  UW has a question on the familial dyslipidemia III which is a defective ApoE. ApoE is what mediates chylomicron remnant uptake into the liver and so if its defective the liver cant efficiently remove chylomicrons and VLDL from the circulation. You get an increase in those things causing premature atherosclerosis, palmar xanthomas.
