    Objective. Familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by partial lack of subcutaneous fat. Methods. This multicenter prospective observational study included data from 56 subjects with FPLD (18 independent Turkish families). Thirty healthy controls were enrolled for comparison. Results. Pathogenic variants of the LMNA gene were determined in nine families. Of those, typical exon 8 codon 482 pathogenic variants were identified in four families. Analysis of the LMNA gene also revealed exon 1 codon 47, exon 5 codon 306, exon 6 codon 349, exon 9 codon 528, and exon 11 codon 582 pathogenic variants. Analysis of the PPARG gene revealed exon 3 p.Y151C pathogenic variant in two families and exon 7 p.H477L pathogenic variant in one family. A non-pathogenic exon 5 p.R215Qvariant of the LMNB2 gene was detected in another family. Five other families harbored no mutation in any of the genes sequenced. MRI studies showed slightly different fat distribution patterns among subjects with different point mutations, though it was strikingly different in subjects with LMNA p.R349W pathogenic variant. Subjects with pathogenic variants of the PPARG gene were associated with less prominent fat loss and relatively higher levels of leptin compared to those with pathogenic variants in the LMNA gene. Various metabolic abnormalities associated with insulin resistance were detected in all subjects. End-organ complications were observed. Conclusion. We have identified various pathogenic variants scattered throughout the LMNA and PPARG genes in Turkish patients with FPLD. Phenotypic heterogeneity is remarkable in patients with LMNA pathogenic variants related to the site of missense mutations. FPLD, caused by pathogenic variants either in LMNA or PPARG is associated with metabolic abnormalities associated with insulin resistance that lead to increased morbidity. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc.

    Clinical spectra of neuromuscular manifestations in patients with lipodystrophy: A multicenter study
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017) Akinci, Gulcin; Topaloglu, Haluk; Demir, Tevfik; Danyeli, Ayca Ersen; Talim, Beril; Keskin, Fatma Ela; Kadioglu, Pinar; Talip, Enez; Altay, Canan; Yaylali, Guzin Fidan; Bilen, Habib; Nur, Banu; Demir, Leyla; Onay, Huseyin; Akinci, Baris
    Lipodystrophy is a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by loss of adipose tissue. Here, we report on clinical spectra of neuromuscular manifestations of Turkish patients with lipodystrophy. Seventy-four patients with lipodystrophy and 20 healthy controls were included. Peripheral sensorimotor neuropathy was a con-non finding (67.4%) in lipodystrophic patients with diabetes. Neuropathic foot ulcers were observed in 4 patients. Drop foot developed in 1 patient with congenital generalized lipodystrophy type 1. Muscle symptoms and hypertrophy were consistent findings in congenital generalized lipodystrophy (21/21) and familial partial lipodystrophy (25/34); on the other hand, overt myopathy with elevated creatine kinase activity was a distinctive characteristic of congenital generalized lipodystrophy type 4. Muscle biopsies revealed myopathic changes at different levels. Accumulation of triglycerides was observed which contributes to insulin resistance. All patients with congenital generalized lipodystrophy suffered from tight Achilles tendons at various levels. Scoliosis was observed in congenital generalized lipodystrophy type 4 (2/2) and familial partial lipodystrophy type 2 (2/17). Atlantoaxial instability was unique to congenital generalized lipodystrophy type 4 (2/2). Bone cysts were detected in congenital generalized lipodystrophy type 1 (7/10) and congenital generalized lipodystrophy type 2 (2/8). Our study suggests that lipodystrophies are associated with a wide spectrum of neuromuscular abnormalities. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
