Abstract excerpt
The PPARG gene encodes a member of a nuclear receptor superfamily known as peroxisome proliferator-activated gamma (PPARγ). PPARγ plays an essential role in adipogenesis, stimulating the differentiation of preadipocytes into adipocytes. Loss-of-function pathogenic variants in PPARG reduce the activity of the PPARγ receptor and can lead to severe metabolic consequences associated with familial partial...
