Human apolipoprotein CII (apo CII) consists of 79 amino acid residues and is required as a cofactor in the hydrolysis of triacylglycerides of chylomicrons and VLDL by lipoprotein lipase. Familial apo CII deficiency is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by fasting hypertriglyceridemia and an accumulation of chylomicrons in the plasma. We are the first to report a case of resistant hypertriglyceridemia in a young man with high plasma levels of apo CII

Abstract
Human apolipoprotein CII (apo CII) consists of 79 amino acid residues and is required as a cofactor in the hydrolysis of triacylglycerides of chylomicrons and VLDL by lipoprotein lipase. Familial apo CII deficiency is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by fasting hypertriglyceridemia and an accumulation of chylomicrons in the plasma. We are the first to report a case of resistant hypertriglyceridemia in a young man with high plasma levels of apo CII
