IEMbase phenotype signal

IEMbase represents LIPC-related hepatic lipase deficiency, also listed as HL deficiency. Inheritance is autosomal recessive.

Clinical rows include coronary artery disease and myocardial ischemia. Biochemical rows include post-heparin hepatic lipase activity, serum cholesterol, plasma HDL cholesterol, broad-beta lipoprotein electrophoresis, and serum triglyceride. There are no treatment rows.

DisMech phenotype coverage

There is no exact local DisMech target for LIPC-related hepatic lipase deficiency. The generated low candidate Hepatic_Veno-occlusive_Disease-Immunodeficiency_Syndrome.yaml is a lexical false positive: that file models SP110-related primary immunodeficiency with hepatic sinusoidal/terminal venular occlusion and fibrosis. It does not model hepatic lipase activity, LIPC, lipoprotein remodeling, broad-beta lipoproteinemia, or hyperalphalipoproteinemia.

Local atherosclerotic disease files may provide downstream cardiovascular context, but they are not valid disease mappings for the inherited lipase defect.

Concordance and completeness

Judgement: true local gap; reject the hepatic veno-occlusive disease candidate.

The IEMbase record is a lipoprotein-metabolism disorder caused by LIPC, whereas the generated candidate is an immunodeficiency/liver vascular-occlusion syndrome caused by SP110. The shared word "hepatic" is not sufficient for mapping.

Curation actions

  • Keep this record unmapped until a LIPC hepatic lipase deficiency target exists.
  • Do not map to Hepatic_Veno-occlusive_Disease-Immunodeficiency_Syndrome.yaml.
  • If curated, prioritize hepatic lipase activity after heparin, broad-beta lipoprotein electrophoresis, high HDL cholesterol, cholesterol/triglyceride abnormalities, and coronary disease risk.
