Phenotypic and genetic heterogeneity in congenital generalized lipodystrophy.
Congenital generalized lipodystrophy (CGL) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by near complete absence of adipose tissue from birth. Recently, mutations in 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase 2 (AGPAT2) and Berardinelli-Seip congenital lipodystrophy 2 (BSCL2) genes were reported in pedigrees linked to chromosomes 9q34 and 11q13, respectively. There are limited data re...
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 syndrome in a Chinese boy with Seipin gene mutation: a case study and literature review of genotype-phenotype
Objective Congenital generalized lipodystrophy (CGL), or Berardinelli-Seip syndrome, is a rare and heterogeneous disease of autosomal recessive inheritance characterized by the generalized absence of adipose tissue at birth and severe adverse metabolic consequences. The identified causative genes for CGL include 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase 2 (AGPAT2), Berardinelli-Seip congenit...
متن کاملPhenotypic diversity in patients with lipodystrophy associated with LMNA mutations.
OBJECTIVE Mutations in LMNA have been linked to diverse disorders called laminopathies, which display heterogeneous phenotypes and include diseases affecting muscles, axonal neurons, progeroid syndromes, and lipodystrophies. Among the lipodystrophies, LMNA mutations have been reported most frequently in patients with familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD) of the Dunnigan variety; however, phenot...
