Abstract
CONTEXT Lipodystrophy syndromes are a heterogeneous group of rare genetic or acquired disorders characterized by generalized or partial loss of adipose tissue. LMNA-related lipodystrophy syndromes are classified based on the severity and distribution of adipose tissue loss. OBJECTIVE We aimed to annotate all clinical and metabolic features of patients with lipodystrophy syndromes carrying pathogenic LMNA variants and assess potential genotype-phenotype relationships. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed and analyzed all our cases (n = 115) and all published cases (n = 379) curated from 94 studies in the literature. RESULTS The study included 494 patients. The most common variants in our study, R482Q and R482W, were associated with similar metabolic characteristics and complications though those with the R482W variant were younger (aged 33 [24] years vs 44 [25] years; P < .001), had an earlier diabetes diagnosis (aged 27 [18] vs 40 [17] years; P < .001) and had lower body mass index levels (24 [5] vs 25 [4]; P = .037). Dyslipidemia was the earliest biochemical evidence described in 83% of all patients at a median age of 26 (10) years, while diabetes was reported in 61% of cases. Among 39 patients with an episode of acute pancreatitis, the median age at acute pancreatitis diagnosis was 20 (17) years. Patients who were reported to have diabetes had 3.2 times, while those with hypertriglyceridemia had 12.0 times, the odds of having pancreatitis compared to those who did not. CONCLUSION This study reports the largest number of patients with LMNA-related lipodystrophy syndromes to date. Our report helps to quantify the prevalence of the known and rare complications associated with different phenotypes and serves as a comprehensive catalog of all known cases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Underdiagnosis is an important issue in genetic lipodystrophies, which are rare diseases with metabolic, cardiovascular, gynecological, and psychological complications. We aimed to characterize the diagnostic pathway in these diseases from the patients' perspective. DESIGN Cross-sectional study conducted through a self-reported patient questionnaire. METHODS Patients with genetic lipodystrophy were recruited throughout the French national reference network for rare diseases of insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity. Patients completed a self-reported questionnaire on disease symptoms, steps leading to the diagnosis, and healthcare professionals involved. Descriptive analyses were conducted. RESULTS Out of 175 eligible patients, 109 patients (84% women) were included; 93 had partial familial lipodystrophy and 16 congenital generalized lipodystrophy. Metabolic comorbidities (diabetes 68%, hypertriglyceridemia 66%, hepatic steatosis 57%), cardiovascular (hypertension 54%), and gynecologic complications (irregular menstruation 60%) were frequently reported. Median age at diagnosis was 30 years (interquartile range [IQR] 23-47). The overall diagnostic process was perceived as "very difficult" for many patients. It extended over 12 years (IQR 5-25) with more than five different physicians consulted by 36% of respondents, before diagnosis, for lipodystrophy-related symptoms. The endocrinologist made the diagnosis for 77% of the patients. Changes in morphotype were reported as the first symptoms by the majority of respondents. CONCLUSIONS Diagnostic pathway in patients with genetic lipodystrophy is rendered difficult by the multisystemic features of the disease and the lack of knowledge of non-specialized physicians. Training physicians to systematically include adipose tissue examination in routine clinical evaluation should improve diagnosis and management of lipodystrophy and lipodystrophy-associated comorbidities.

Abstract
The risk for metabolic and cardiovascular complications of obesity is defined by body fat distribution rather than global adiposity. Unlike subcutaneous fat, visceral fat (including hepatic steatosis) reflects insulin resistance and predicts type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In humans, available evidence indicates that the ability to store triglycerides in the subcutaneous adipose tissue reflects enhanced insulin sensitivity. Prospective studies document an association between larger subcutaneous fat mass at baseline and reduced incidence of impaired glucose tolerance. Case-control studies reveal an association between genetic predisposition to insulin resistance and a lower amount of subcutaneous adipose tissue. Human peroxisome proliferator-activated receptorgamma (PPAR-γ) promotes subcutaneous adipocyte differentiation and subcutaneous fat deposition, improving insulin resistance and reducing visceral fat. Thiazolidinediones reproduce the effects of PPAR-γ activation and therefore increase the amount of subcutaneous fat while enhancing insulin sensitivity and reducing visceral fat. Partial or virtually complete lack of adipose tissue (lipodystrophy) is associated with insulin resistance and its clinical manifestations, including essential hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, reduced HDL-c, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and kidney disease. Patients with Prader Willi syndrome manifest severe subcutaneous obesity without insulin resistance. The impaired ability to accumulate fat in the subcutaneous adipose tissue may be due to deficient triglyceride synthesis, inadequate formation of lipid droplets, or defective adipocyte differentiation. Lean and obese humans develop insulin resistance when the capacity to store fat in the subcutaneous adipose tissue is exhausted and deposition of triglycerides is no longer attainable at that location. Existing adipocytes become large and reflect the presence of insulin resistance.

Abstract
The rarity of lipodystrophies implies that they are not well-known, leading to delays in diagnosis/misdiagnosis. The aim of this study was to assess the natural course and comorbidities of generalised and partial lipodystrophy in Spain to contribute to their understanding. Thus, a total of 140 patients were evaluated (77.1% with partial lipodystrophy and 22.9% with generalised lipodystrophy). Clinical data were collected in a longitudinal setting with a median follow-up of 4.7 (0.5-17.6) years. Anthropometry and body composition studies were carried out and analytical parameters were also recorded. The estimated prevalence of all lipodystrophies in Spain, excluding Köbberling syndrome, was 2.78 cases/million. The onset of phenotype occurred during childhood in generalised lipodystrophy and during adolescence-adulthood in partial lipodystrophy, with the delay in diagnosis being considerable for both cohorts. There are specific clinical findings that should be highlighted as useful features to take into account when making the differential diagnosis of these disorders. Patients with generalised lipodystrophy were found to develop their first metabolic abnormalities sooner and a different lipid profile has also been observed. Mean time to death was 83.8 ± 2.5 years, being shorter among patients with generalised lipodystrophy. These results provide an initial point of comparison for ongoing prospective studies such as the ECLip Registry study.

Abstract
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is characterized by decreased systolic function and dilation of one or both ventricles, often leading to heart failure or sudden death. Two 10-month-old sibling Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers (NSDTR) died acutely with evidence of dilated cardiomyopathy with myocardial fibrosis. Association analysis using two cases and 35 controls identified three candidate regions homozygous in the two cases. Whole genome sequencing identified a frameshift deletion in the LMNA gene (NC_049228.1:g.41688530del, NP_001274080:p.(Asp576ThrfsTer124)). Three retrospectively identified NSDTRs with sudden death before 2 years of age and severe myocardial fibrosis were also homozygous for the deletion. One 5 year old with sudden death and myocardial fibrosis was heterozygous for the deletion. This variant was not identified in 722 dogs of other breeds, nor was it identified to be homozygous in 784 NSDTR. LMNA codes for lamin A/C proteins, which are type V intermediate filaments that provide structural support to the nuclear membrane. In humans, LMNA variants can cause DCM with sudden death as well as diseases of striated muscles, lipodystrophy, neuropathies, and accelerated aging disorders. This frameshift deletion is predicted to affect processing of prelamin A into lamin A. Pedigree analysis in the NSDTR and functional evaluation of heterozygotes is consistent with a predominantly recessive mode of inheritance and possibly low penetrance in heterozygotes in contrast to people, where most pathogenic LMNA variants are dominantly inherited.

Abstract
Mutations in the LMNA gene cause heterogeneous phenotypes such as myopathy, progeroid syndromes, hereditary neuropathies, cardiomyopathies, or lipodystrophies. A specific LMNA mutation manifesting as dilated cardiomyopathy (dCMP), and iron metabolism disorder has not been reported. The patient is a 50-year-old female with palpitations and fatigue since childhood, hyperlipidemia for 25 years, gastroesophageal reflux for 20 years, arterial hypertension for eight years, and iron deficiency for one year, requiring intravenous iron supplementation. Family history was positive for dCMP, malignant ventricular arrhythmias (MVAs), and sudden cardiac death (SCD). She was diagnosed with dCMP at the age of 49. Genetic workup revealed the variant c.154C>G (p.Leu52Val) in LMNA, which was also found in two female cousins. Because of ventricular tachycardia in the long-term ECG recordings, an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) was implanted in addition to antiarrhythmic, antihypertensive, heart failure, and lipid-lowering treatment. With this therapy, the patient remained in stable condition during the one-year follow-up and was able to successfully carry out her job. In summary, this case shows that the variant c.154C>G (p.Leu52Val) in LMNA manifests not only with dCMP, but also with hyperlipidemia, steatosis, gastroesophageal reflux, arterial hypertension, and iron deficiency. Primary prophylaxis with an ICD and additional symptomatic treatment can stabilise the condition and eventually prevent familial SCD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The transition to metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO) is driven by the limited expandability of adipose tissue (AT). Familial Partial Lipodystrophy type 2 (FPLD2) is an alternative model for AT dysfunction that is suitable for comparison with obesity. While MUO is associated with low-grade systemic inflammation, studies of inflammation in FPLD2 have yielded inconsistent results. Consequently, comparison of inflammation markers between FPLD2 and obesity is of great interest to better understand the pathophysiological defects of FPLD2. OBJECTIVE To compare the levels of inflammatory biomarkers between a population of patients with FPLD2 due to the same 'Reunionese' LMNA variant and a population of patients with obesity (OB group). METHODS Adiponectin, leptin, IL-6, TNF-α and MCP-1 plasma levels were measured by enzyme-linked immuno assays for 60 subjects with FPLD2 and for 60 subjects with obesity. The populations were closely matched for age, sex, and diabetic status. RESULTS Metabolic outcomes were similar between the two populations. Adiponectinemia and leptinemia were lower in the FPLD2 group than in the OB group (p < 0.01 for both), while MCP-1 levels were higher in the FPLD2 than in the OB group (p < 0.01). Levels of other inflammatory markers were not significantly different. CONCLUSIONS Insulin-resistant patients with FPLD2 and obesity share common complications related to AT dysfunction. Inflammatory biomarker analyses demonstrated that MCP-1 levels and adiponectin levels differ between patients with FPLD2 and patients with obesity. These two AT pathologies thus appear to have different inflammatory profiles.

Abstract
AIM Subjects with Familial Partial Lipodystrophy type 2 (FPLD2) are at high risk to develop diabetes. To better understand the natural history and variability of this disease, we studied glucose tolerance, insulin response to an oral glucose load, and metabolic markers in the largest cohort to date of subjects with FPLD2 due to the same LMNA variant. METHODS A total of 102 patients aged > 18 years, with FPLD2 due to the LMNA 'Reunionese' variant p.(Thr655Asnfs*49) and 22 unaffected adult relatives with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) were enrolled. Oral Glucose Tolerance Tests (OGTT) with calculation of derived insulin sensitivity and secretion markers, and measurements of HbA1c, C-reactive protein, leptin, adiponectin and lipid profile were performed. RESULTS In patients with FPLD2: 65% had either diabetes (41%) or prediabetes (24%) despite their young age (median: 39.5 years IQR 29.0-50.8) and close-to-normal BMI (median: 25.5 kg/m2 IQR 23.1-29.4). Post-load OGTT values revealed insulin resistance and increased insulin secretion in patients with FPLD2 and NGT, whereas patients with diabetes were characterized by decreased insulin secretion. Impaired glucose tolerance with normal fasting glucose was present in 86% of patients with prediabetes. Adiponectin levels were decreased in all subjects with FPLD2 and correlated with insulin sensitivity markers. CONCLUSIONS OGTT reveals early alterations of glucose and insulin metabolism in patients with FPLD2, and should be systematically performed before excluding a diagnosis of prediabetes or diabetes to adapt medical care. Decreased adiponectin is an early marker of the disease. Adiponectin replacement therapy warrants further study in FPLD2.

Abstract
Type 2 familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD2) is a laminopathic lipodystrophy due to pathogenic variants in the LMNA gene. Its rarity implies that it is not well-known. The aim of this review was to explore the published data regarding the clinical characterisation of this syndrome in order to better describe FPLD2. For this purpose, a systematic review through a search on PubMed until December 2022 was conducted and the references of the retrieved articles were also screened. A total of 113 articles were included. FPLD2 is characterised by the loss of fat starting around puberty in women, affecting limbs and trunk, and its accumulation in the face, neck and abdominal viscera. This adipose tissue dysfunction conditions the development of metabolic complications associated with insulin resistance, such as diabetes, dyslipidaemia, fatty liver disease, cardiovascular disease, and reproductive disorders. However, a great degree of phenotypical variability has been described. Therapeutic approaches are directed towards the associated comorbidities, and recent treatment modalities have been explored. A comprehensive comparison between FPLD2 and other FPLD subtypes can also be found in the present review. This review aimed to contribute towards augmenting knowledge of the natural history of FPLD2 by bringing together the main clinical research in this field.

Abstract
Lipodystrophy syndromes are rare diseases originating from a generalized or partial loss of adipose tissue. Adipose tissue dysfunction results from heterogeneous genetic or acquired causes, but leads to similar metabolic complications with insulin resistance, diabetes, hypertriglyceridemia, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, dysfunctions of the gonadotropic axis and endocrine defects of adipose tissue with leptin and adiponectin deficiency. Diagnosis, based on clinical and metabolic investigations, and on genetic analyses, is of major importance to adapt medical care and genetic counseling. Molecular and cellular bases of these syndromes involve, among others, altered adipocyte differentiation, structure and/or regulation of the adipocyte lipid droplet, and/or premature cellular senescence. Lipodystrophy syndromes frequently present as systemic diseases with multi-tissue involvement. After an update on the main molecular bases and clinical forms of lipodystrophy, we will focus on topics that have recently emerged in the field. We will discuss the links between lipodystrophy and premature ageing and/or immuno-inflammatory aggressions of adipose tissue, as well as the relationships between lipomatosis and lipodystrophy. Finally, the indications of substitutive therapy with metreleptin, an analog of leptin, which is approved in Europe and USA, will be discussed.
