Abstract
Familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) is a very rare, underdiagnosed disorder that can cause abdominal pain and recurrent pancreatitis from childhood —potentially life-threatening— and chronic complications such as diabetes mellitus and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. FCS affects the quality of life and mental health of those who suffer from it, aspects that must be taken into account in its treatment, based on a strict low-fat diet, which is difficult to adhere to and persist. People with FCS lack the lipolytic capacity to hydrolyze triglycerides (TG) and have a minimal or null response to conventional lipid-lowering treatments. ApoCIII antagonists, specifically volanesorsen, olezarsen and ARO-APOC3, are the most promising drugs to reduce TG concentrations in patients with FCS. Anti-ANGPTL3 therapies appear to be less effective. More clinical trials and new pharmacological treatments are needed to improve the quality of life and prognosis of people with FCS.
