Genetic disorders of adipose tissue development, differentiation, and death.
Abstract
Lack of adipose tissue, either complete or partial, is the hallmark of disorders known as lipodystrophies. Patients with lipodystrophies suffer from metabolic complications similar to those associated with obesity, including insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, hypertriglyceridemia, and hepatic steatosis. The loss of body fat in inherited lipodystrophies can be caused by defects in the development and/or differentiation of adipose tissue as a consequence of mutations in a number of genes, including PPARG (encoding a nuclear hormone receptor), AGPAT2 (encoding an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of triglyceride and phospholipids), AKT2 (encoding a protein involved in insulin signal transduction), and BSCL2 (encoding seipin, whose role in the adipocyte biology remains unclear). The loss of body fat can also be caused by the premature death of adipocytes due to mutations in lamin A/C, nuclear lamina proteins, and ZMPSTE24, which modifies the prelamin A post-translationally. In this review, we focus on the molecular basis of inherited lipodystrophies as they relate to adipocyte biology and their associated phenotypic manifestations.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
