Abstract excerpt
Protease inhibitors (PIs) are associated with an incidence of lipodystrophy among people living with HIV(PLHIV). Lipodystrophiesare characterised by the loss of adipose tissue. Evidence suggests that a patient's lipodystrophy phenotype is influenced by genetic mutation, age, gender, and environmental and genetic factors, such as single-nucleotide variants (SNVs). Pathogenic variants are considered to cause a more...
