Abstract excerpt
Familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD) results from coding sequence mutations either in LMNA, encoding nuclear lamin A/C, or in PPARG, encoding peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma). The LMNA form is called FPLD2 (MIM 151660), and the PPARG form is called FPLD3 (MIM 604367). We now report a 21-yr-old female with FPLD and no coding sequence mutations in either LMNA or PPARG. She was...
