Description
This panel was developed and is maintained by VCGS.

Lipodystrophy syndromes comprise a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by either generalized or partial lack of adipose tissue.

Lipodystrophy can be congenital or acquired. Individuals with partial lipodystrophy may exhibit excess adipose tissue accumulation in other areas of the body. Lipodystrophy syndromes usually manifest with several metabolic abnormalities associated with severe insulin resistance that include diabetes mellitus, hypertriglyceridaemia, and hepatic steatosis which can progress to steatohepatitis. Other common manifestations are acanthosis nigricans, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and eruptive xanthomas.

This panel contains conditions associated with both isolated and syndromic lipodystrophy.
