Molecular analysis of Berardinelli-Seip congenital lipodystrophy in Oman: evidence for multiple loci.
Congenital generalized lipodystrophy (CGL) is a rare disorder characterized by the absence of body fat and insulin resistance and accompanied by other features, including acanthosis nigricans, organomegaly, hyperandrogenism, and diabetes. We have examined case subjects from 11 families in Oman with CGL. All subjects were the progeny of consanguineous marriages; therefore, a homozygosity mapping...
متن کاملA Rare case in Indians -- Berardinelli–Seip Congenital Lipodystrophy
Berardinelli–Seip Congenital Lipodystrophy( BSCL) also called Congenital Generalised Lipodystrophy (CGL) is a very rare autosomal recessive metabolic syndrome with a prevalence of less than1 case in 12 million. About 200 cases have been reported so far world-wide. BSCL2 ,the more severe form of the disease with onset in the neonatal period or early infancy is present in Lebanon, Portugal, Norwa...
متن کاملGenotype-phenotype relationships in Berardinelli-Seip congenital lipodystrophy.
Generalised lipodystrophy of the Berardinelli-Seip type (BSCL) is a rare autosomal recessive human disorder with severe adverse metabolic consequences. A gene on chromosome 9 (BSCL1) has recently been identified, predominantly in African-American families. More recently, mutations in a previously undescribed gene of unknown function (BSCL2) on chromosome 11, termed seipin, have been found to be...
متن کاملPhenotypes of the N88S Berardinelli-Seip congenital lipodystrophy 2 mutation.
Recently, two missense mutations (N88S, S90L) in the Berardinelli-Seip congenital lipodystrophy gene have been identified in autosomal dominant distal hereditary motor neuropathy and Silver syndrome. We report the phenotypic consequences of the N88S mutation in 90 patients of 1 large Austrian family and two unrelated German families. Variation in the clinical and electrophysiological phenotype ...
متن کاملHigh prevalence of Berardinelli-Seip Congenital Lipodystrophy in Rio Grande do Norte State, Northeast Brazil
BACKGROUND Berardinelli-Seip Congenital Lipodystrophy (BSCL) is a rare disease characterized by the almost complete absence of adipose tissue. Although a large number of BSCL cases was previously identified in Rio Grande do Norte (RN), a state in Northeast Brazil, its prevalence in RN regions and municipalities remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to better characterize the prevalence...
