Liboprotein lipase (LPL) is a homodimeric glycosylated enzyme that hydrolyzes triglycerides transported by chylomicrons and very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL). Thus it mediates the supply of fatty acids to peripheral tissues and converts triglyceride-rich lipoproteins to intermediate-density lipoproteins (IDL) and low-density lipoproteins (LDL). In this process it also contributes to the formation of high-density lipoproteins (HDL)(Murthy et al., 1996a).The characterization of LPL gene has led to the identification of numerous mutations responsible for familial chylomicronemia (for review, see Murthy et al., 199613). We have reported two missense mutations of the LPL gene in exon 5, at codons 188 and 207, resulting in nonfunctional LPL in French-Canadian homozygotes (Monsalve et al., 1990; Ma et al., 1991; Bergeron et al., 1992; Normand et al., 1992). In the Quebec population, familial chylomicronemia is caused by deficiency in LPL activity, resulting from mutation 188, present among 23%, and mutation 207, present among 70% of the affected alleles (Hayden et al., 1991; Julien et al., 1994). We have published a detailed description of the clinical signs, the frequency as well as the circumstances leading to the diagnosis of familial LPL deficiency (GagnC et al., 1989; Murthy et al., 199613). Although the incidence of LPL deficiency in most populations is low (1 in a million), the incidence of homozygosity has been estimated to be more than 1 in 10,000 in North Eastern Quebec (Julien et al., 1994). Based on the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the total number of
