Clinical Comment

Congenital generalized lipodystrophy (Berardinelli-Seip) is rare and characterized by almost complete lack of adipose tissue. It belongs to a group of related disorders showing loss of adipose tissue. Symptoms usually present early and include insulin resistance that can develop into diabetes mellitus, hypertriglyceridemia (with eruptive xanthomas and pancreatitis), hepatic steatosis, hepatomegaly, liver failure and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In females, clitoromegaly, hirsutism, irregular menstruation and cystic ovaries may be prominent. Many patients develop acanthosis nigricans. There are several genetic types of congenital generalized lipodystrophy: type 1 patients develop cysts in the long limb bones after puberty. Type 2 may be associated with mental retardation. Type 3 appears to impair growth. Type 4 is associated with muscle weakness, delayed development, joint abnormalities, pyloric stenosis, and severe cardiac arrhythmias. Inheritance is either autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive. DNA yield in Berardinelli-Seip congenital lipodystrophy is very high; however overall, the molecular genetic yield in lipodstrophies is unknown and low, it can be increased by next-generation sequencing analysis of the many known lipodystrophy-associated genes.
