Seipinopathy: a novel endoplasmic reticulum stress-associated disease.

Abstract excerpt

The Seipin/BSCL2 gene was originally identified as a loss-of-function gene for congenital generalized lipodystrophy type 2 (CGL2), a condition characterized by severe lipoatrophy, insulin resistance, hypertriglyceridaemia and mental retardation. Recently, gain-of-toxic-function mutations (namely, mutations N88S and S90L) in the seipin gene have been identified in autosomal dominant motor neuron diseases such as...
