Lipodystrophy, Congenital Generalized, Type 1; Cgl1

Description

Congenital generalized lipodystrophy (CGL), or Berardinelli-Seip syndrome, is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by a near absence of adipose tissue from birth or early infancy and severe insulin resistance. Other clinical and biologic features include acanthosis nigricans, muscular hypertrophy, hepatomegaly, altered glucose tolerance or diabetes mellitus, and hypertriglyceridemia (Garg, 2004). Genetic Heterogeneity of Congenital Generalized LipodystrophyCongenital generalized lipodystrophy type 2 (OMIM ) is caused by mutation in the BSCL2 gene (OMIM ). Congenital generalized lipodystrophy type 3 (OMIM ) is caused by mutation in the CAV1 gene (OMIM ). Congenital generalized lipodystrophy type 4 (OMIM ) is caused by mutation in the PTRF gene (OMIM ).
