-
A rare genetic lipodystrophy with characteristics of loss of subcutaneous adipose tissue primarily affecting the lower limbs and gluteal region due to a defect in the PLIN1 gene. Associated features of insulin resistance, hepatic steatosis, dyslipidaemia, hypertension, axillary acanthosis nigricans and muscular hypertrophy of the lower limbs are typical. Caused by heterozygous mutation in the PLIN1 gene on chromosome 15q26.
