<prompt> A patient with a history of recurring attacks of pancreatitis, eruptive xanthomas, and increased plasma triglyceride levels 2,000 mgdL. Which of the following is the most likely deficiency:Lipoprotein LipaseLDL receptorsHMG-CoA reductaseABCA1 receptor  <response>: In this patient, Accumulation of TGs leads to Eruptive xanthomas risk of acute pancreatitis Milky plasma suggests Chylomicrons Due to the defect in lipoprotein lipase enzyme Characteristic of familial hyperchylomicronaemia. LDL receptor defect leads to accumulation of LDL, not TGs -option b is excluded. Complete deficiency of HMG-CoA reductase Lethal Incompatible with life -option c is excluded.
