Abstract excerpt
Familial partial lipodystrophies (FPLDs) are very rare inherited disorders characterized by partial loss of adipose tissue from the upper and lower extremities. At least seven subtypes of FPLD have been identified and are mostly dominantly inherited. FPLD type 3 is caused by mutations in the PPARγ gene, which encodes for the protein peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ). We identified a Saudi...
