Abstract
Lipodystrophy represents a group of rare diseases characterized by loss of body fat. While patients with generalized lipodystrophy exhibit near-total lack of fat, partial lipodystrophy is associated with selective fat loss affecting certain parts of the body. Although classical familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD) is a well-described entity, recent reports indicate phenotypic heterogeneity among carriers of LMNA pathogenic variants.We have...
