Congenital generalized lipodystrophy in a 4 year old Chinese girl.

چکیده
Congenital generalized lipodystrophy (CGL) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by near complete absence of adipose tissue since birth and insulin resistance. The diagnosis is made on the basis of lack of body fat, muscular hypertrophy, acanthosis nigricans, hirsutism, hepatomegaly with fatty liver, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia with insulin resistance. We describe a 4-year-old Chinese girl with the clinical features of CGL.

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, ...

Berardinelli-Seip congenital lipodystrophy (BSCL) is a rare autosomal recessive condition associating insulin resistance, absence of subcutaneous fat and muscular hypertrophy. Disease-causing mutations have been described in AGPAT2 and BSCL2 genes.

Lipodystrophies are a group of heterogeneous disorders characterized by the loss of adipose tissue and metabolic complications. The main familial forms of lipodystrophy are Congenital Generalized Lipodystrophy and Familial Partial Lipodystrophy (FPLD). FPLD may result from mutations in the LMNA gene. Besides FPLD, mutations in LMNA have been shown to be responsible for other inherited diseases ...
