LIPE-RELATED FAMILIAL PARTIAL LIPODYSTROPHY

Alternate names

LIPE-RELATED FAMILIAL PARTIAL LIPODYSTROPHY Is also known as fpld6, lipe-related fpld, lipodystrophy, familial partial, associated with lipe mutations

Description

Familial partial lipodystrophy-6 (FPLD6) is characterized by abnormal subcutaneous fat distribution, with variable excess accumulation of fat in the face, neck, shoulders, axillae, back, abdomen, and pubic region, and reduction in subcutaneous fat of the lower extremities. Progressive adult-onset myopathy is seen in some patients, and there is variable association with diabetes, hypertriglyceridemia, low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and hepatic steatosis (Zolotov et al., 2017).

Most common symptoms of LIPE-RELATED FAMILIAL PARTIAL LIPODYSTROPHY

  • Muscle weakness
  • Hepatomegaly
  • Skeletal muscle atrophy
  • Myopathy
  • Elevated serum creatine phosphokinase
