Abstract excerpt
We previously showed that a rare mutation in LMNA, which encodes lamins A and C, underlies autosomal dominant Dunnigan-type familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD). Because FPLD is an extreme example of genetically disturbed adipocyte differentiation, it is possible that common variation in LMNA is associated with obesity-related phenotypes. We therefore analyzed the relationships between the common LMNA 1908T/C...
