چکیده
sent case, the pattern of mosaicism is difficult to classify because mosaicism of adipocytes, which are mesodermal not ectodermal tissue, is currently not well understood. It is very likely, however, that this type of segmental lipodystrophy reflects mosaicism. Investigating genes known to cause inherited, systemic lipodystrophies (eg, AGTAT2, seipin, LMNA, PPAR-g, and ZMPSTE24) could aid in proving a genetic basis of mosaicism in the present unclassified segmental lipodystrophy. However, we were unable to perform this genetic studies because our patient refused further evaluation.
