Some LMNA mutations responsible for insulin-resistant lipodystrophic syndromes are associated with peripheral subcutaneous lipoatrophy and faciocervical fat accumulation. Their pathophysiologic characteristics are unknown. We compared histologic, immunohistologic, ultrastructural, and protein expression features of enlarged cervical subcutaneous adipose tissue (scAT) obtained during plastic surgery from four...
