Genetic Syndromes of Severe Insulin Resistance

Abstract

Insulin resistance is among the most prevalent endocrine derangements in the world, and it is closely associated with major diseases of global reach including diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and ovulatory dysfunction.It is most commonly found in those with obesity but may also occur in an unusually severe form in rare patients with monogenic defects.Such patients may loosely be grouped into those with primary disorders of insulin signaling and those with defects in adipose tissue development or function (lipodystrophy).The severe insulin resistance of both subgroups puts patients at risk of accelerated complications and poses severe challenges in clinical management.However, the clinical disorders produced by different genetic defects are often biochemically and clinically distinct and are associated with distinct risks of complications.This means that optimal management of affected patients should take into account the specific natural history of each condition.In clinical practice, they are often underdiagnosed, however, with low rates of identification of the underlying genetic defect, a problem compounded by confusing and overlapping nomenclature and classification.We now review recent developments in understanding of genetic forms of severe insulin resistance and/or lipodystrophy and suggest a revised classification based on growing knowledge of the underlying pathophysiology.(Endocrine Reviews 32: 498 -514, 2011) I.

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.
