RESUMO
Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is the second leading cause of acute pancreatitis in China and can be caused by primary factors, namely gene mutations, which may lead to recurrent hypertriglyceridemic acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP) and difficulties in effective control of triglyceride. This article reports an adult Chinese male patient who experienced eight attacks of HTG-AP and was found to carry a de novo heterozygous mutation, p.K327N, of the GPD1 gene, which may cause the persistent high level of triglyceride and recurrent attacks of HTG-AP.
