Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Congenital generalized lipodystrophy (CGL) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by marked scarcity of adipose tissue, extreme insulin resistance, hypertriglyceridemia, hepatic steatosis and early-onset diabetes. Mutation of the BSCL2/SEIPIN gene causes the most severe form of CGL. The aim of this study was to generate induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells from patients with CGL harboring...
