Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored high-density lipoprotein-binding protein 1 (GPIHBP1) is a glycolipid-anchored protein expressed on capillary endothelial cells. It binds and transports lipoprotein lipase (LPL) to its site of action in the capillary lumen. 1 Recently, homozygous pathogenic mutations in GPIHBP1 have been reported to cause severe lifelong hypertriglyceridmia. 2 GPIHBP1 autoantibodies have been shown to cause hypertriglyceridemia by preventing the binding of GPIHBP1 to LPL and are sometimes associated with the development of autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). 3 Here, we report the case of a female with hypertriglyceridemia due to GPIHBP1 autoantibodies before the diagnosis of SLE. A 14-year-old girl presented with recurrent upper abdominal pain after eating on day X-14 months (Fig. 1, Table 1). She had been suffering from this symptom for 1 year. Physical examination revealed that she was lean (weight, 49 kg) and had a normal height (165.0 cm) with a body mass index of 18 kg/m2. She had no other medical history, and her vital signs were normal. A physical examination revealed no eruptive xanthomas or lipemia retinalis. An abdominal CT scan showed hepatosplenomegaly and pancreatic enlargement. She had no family history of autoimmune diseases or dyslipidemia and no history of obesity, alcohol abuse, or pregnancy. The level of serum triglycerides (TGs) was 638 mg/dL after fasting and 2591 mg/dL after eating. The levels of total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were 207, 16, and 14 mg/dL, respectively. The diagnosis was that her abdominal pain was caused by acute pancreatitis. The level of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) autoantibody was 12.9 IU/mL. Although she did not fulfill the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) criteria (2012) for SLE, 4 she was suspected of having SLE. After administration of a low-fat diet (15e20 g/day) for several weeks, her serum TG levels (after eating) decreased to a range of 200e400 mg/dL. The patient's abdominal pain also diminished owing to her serum TG levels.The patient was examined in detail on day X-11 months (Fig. 1, Table 1). Her plasma LPL levels before and after injection of heparin were 6.9 ng/mL and 17.3 ng/mL, respectively. However, autoantibodies against LPL were not detected. The plasma GPIHBP1
