Deletion mutation in BSCL2 gene underlies congenital generalized lipodystrophy in a Pakistani family
BACKGROUND Congenital generalized lipodystrophy (CGL) also known as Berardinelli-Seip Congenital Lipodystrophy (BSCL) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder characterized by loss of adipose tissues, Acanthosis nigricans, diabetes mellitus, muscular hypertrophy, hepatomegaly and hypertriglyceridemia. There are four subclinical phenotypes of CGL (CGL1-4) and mutations in four genes AGPAT2, BSCL2...
متن کاملCongenital Generalized Lipodystrophy in a Youth Presented with Sclerotic and Lytic Bone Lesions; a Family with AGPAT2 Mutation
BackgroundCongenital generalized lipodystrophy (CGL) is a rare disease. It is associated with near total fat loss, severe insulin resistance and hypoleptinemia leading to metabolic derangements.Case PresentationWe report a 25- year- old female with 1-Acylglycerol-3-phosphate-O-acyltransferase 2 (APGAT2) mutation, and both sclerotic and lytic bone lesions together for the first time. Bone cyst i...
متن کاملBerardinelli-Seip Congenital Lipodystrophy: Report of an Iranian Girl with a Novel Mutation of BSCL2 Gene
Congenital generalized lipodystrophies (CGLs) are very rare autosomal recessive disorders which have four types. Of the four CGL types, BSCL2 (Berardinelli–Seip Congenital lipodystrophy type 2) is the result of mutations in the BSCL2/seipin gene. BSCL2 that is the most severe lipodystrophic phenotype is characterized by generalized lipodystrophy, overgrowth, acanthosis nigricans, hepatomegaly, ...
متن کاملA Novel Missense Mutation in CLCN1 Gene in a Family with Autosomal Recessive Congenital Myotonia
Congenital recessive myotonia is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in CLCN1, which codes for the main skeletal muscle chloride channel ClC-1. More than 120 mutations have been found in this gene. The main feature of this disorder is muscle membrane hyperexcitability. Here, we report a 59-year male patient suffering from congenital myotonia. He had transient generalized myotonia, which...
