A meta-analysis of clinically ascertained lipoedema cohorts from the UK and Spain identifies overlapping susceptibility loci with the UK Biobank

2026-02-12

Abstract excerpt

Lipoedema is a chronic adipose tissue disorder mainly affecting women with excess subcutaneous fat deposition on the lower limbs, associated with pain and tenderness. There is often a family history of lipoedema, suggesting a genetic origin, but the contribution of genetics is not well studied. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for this disorder in a clinically ascertained cohort from Spain and p...
