Recent epidemiologic, genetic, and clinical trial evidence has led us to recommend a simplified definition of HTG (Box 1), with severe HTG >10 mmol/L, especially in the paediatric age group, more likely to be related to monogenic causes, while mild-to-moderate HTG of 2 - 10 mmol/L is more likely to have a polygenic basis with secondary factors. ................
