INTRODUCTION: Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is an important enzyme in lipid metabolism, individuals with LPL gene variants could present type I hyperlipoproteinemia, lipemia retinalis, hepatosplenomegaly, and pancreatitis. To date, there are no reports of renal lipidosis induced by type I hyperlipoproteinemia due to LPL mutation.
METHODS: Renal biopsy was conducted to confirm the etiological factor of nephrotic syndrome in a 44-year-old Chinese man. Lipoprotein electrophoresis, apoE genotype detection, and whole-exome sequencing were performed to confirm the dyslipidemia type and genetic factor. Analysis of the 3-dimensional protein structure and in vitro functional study were conducted to verify variant pathogenicity.
RESULTS: Renal biopsy revealed numerous CD68 positive foam cells infiltrated in the glomeruli; immunoglobulin and complement staining were negative; and electron microscopy revealed numerous lipid droplets and cholesterol clefts in the cytoplasm of foam cells. Lipoprotein electrophoresis revealed that the patient fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of type I hyperlipoproteinemia. The apoE genotype of the patient was the ε3/ε3 genotype. Whole-exome sequencing revealed an LPL (c.292G > A, p.A98T) homozygous variant with α-helix instability and reduced post-heparin LPL activity but normal lipid uptake capability compared to the wild-type variant.
CONCLUSION: LPL (c.292G > A, p.A98T) is a pathogenic variant that causes renal lipidosis associated with type I hyperlipoproteinemia. This study provides adequate evidence of the causal relationship between dyslipidemia and renal lesions. However, further research is needed to better understand the pathogenetic mechanism of LPL variant-related renal lesions.
