Diagnostic challenge in PLIN1-associated Familial Partial Lipodystrophy
2019
Context
Heterozygous frameshift variants in PLIN1 encoding perilipin-1, a key protein for lipid droplet formation and triglyceride metabolism, have been implicated in familial partial lipodystrophy type 4 (FPLD4), a rare entity with only six families reported worldwide. The pathogenicity of other PLIN1 null variants identified in patients with diabetes and/or hyperinsulinemia was recently questioned because of the absence of lipodystrophy in these individuals and the elevated frequency of PLIN1 null variants in the general population.
