Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Type 2 familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD2) is a rare adipose tissue (AT) disease caused by mutations in LMNA, in which lipomas appear occasionally. In this study, we aimed to histologically characterize FPLD2-associated lipomatosis and study the expression of genes and proteins involved in cell cycle control, mitochondrial function, inflammation and adipogenesis. DESIGN AND PATIENTS: One lipoma and...
