Which subtype of lipoatrophy/dystrophy is most commonly encountered?
Acquired, localized forms
Medication injection (ILK)
Traumatic
Inflammatory disease – panniculitides
Name the disease:
Begins birth/childhood
Very rare (1 in 12 million)
Diffuse loss of body fat!
Cadaveric facies (loss of Bichat’s fat pad in the preauricular region)
Muscular-appearing habitus
Spares “mechanical” sites – orbit, palmar/plantar, tongue, breast, vulva, buccal, epidural region
Berardinelli-Seip Syndrome (AR)

aka

Congenital Generalized Lipodystrophy (CGL) Syndrome
Pathogenesis of Berardinelli-Seip?
Pathogenesis
GLUT4 defect
Inability to store glucose in fat
 serum pro-insulin & C-peptide
AR form
According to OMIM, there are two genetic defects:
Type 1 Berardinelli-Seip: AGPAT2 gene
Type 2 Berardinelli-Seip: Seipin (BSCL2) gene
Highly expressed in the brain & testes
Likely role in hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis
Pathogenesis of Lawrence (Lawrence-Seip) Syndrome
Pathogenesis:
No genetic defects
Autoimmune diseases
?immunologically mediated fat cell lysis
Frequent antecedent viral, bacterial infections
Name the disease:

Lipoatrophy distribution
Insulin-resistance, DM, lipid derangements
Cutaneous: AN, mild hirsutism
Main distinguishing features:
Lipoatrophic changes develop later in childhood (before 15yo)
Women > Men
Preceeded by a systemic illness
Infection, autoimmune, connective tissue disease
Does not spare mechanical sites (palms/soles involved)
Higher incidence of liver complications
HSM, cirrhosis, variceal bleeds
Renal, cardiac, CNS involvement unlikely
Acquired Generalized Lipodystrophy (Lawrence-Seip Syndrome)
Eponym for Familial Partial Lipodystrophy
Köbberling-Dunnigan Syndrome (AD)
Name the disease:

Normal childhood
Progressive loss of SQ fat
Starts in puberty
Extremities predominantly
Loss of SQ fat results in accentuation of veins  appearance of muscular hypertrophy
Face spared
Köbberling-Dunnigan Syndrome (AD)
Name the two variants of Kobberling-Dunnigan?
Two variants --

Dunnigan:
Compensatory fat accumulation in head/neck
Round face with excess supraclavicular fat
Acromegalic facies with double chin

Köbberling:
no fat accumulation of head/neck
Pathogenesis of the Dunnigan variety of Familial Partial Lipodystroph?
AD
LMNA gene (chr 1)
Encodes Lamin A and C
Mutations --> abnormal leptin level --> insulin intolerance ( increased serum insulin & C-peptide)

of note: None of the Kobberling patients have defects in LMNA
Eponym for Familial Partial Lipodystrophy
Familial Partial Lipodystrophy –Mandibuloacral Dysplasia Variety
Inheritance and gene involved with: Familial Partial Lipodystrophy –Mandibuloacral Dysplasia Variety
AR
Clinical
Mandibular + clavicular hypoplasia +acro-osteolysis
Short stature
High-pitched voice
Ectodermal abnormalities (skin, teeth, hair, nails)
Pathogenesis – genetic mutations
LMNA gene
Partial lipodystrophy
ZMPSTE24 gene (Zinc metalloproteinase)
Generalized lipodystrophy
Eponym for Acquired Partial Lipodystrophy
Barraquer-Simons Syndrome
(Note: this is the M/C lipodystrophy outside of HIV-related and localized form)
Name the disease:
Cephalothoracic lipodystrophy
Start on face/head --> cephalocaudad spread to the pelvic area
Starts around childhood/puberty
Follows viral illness
Progressive & insidious (physical changes may be delayed up to 40yo)
Women > men
Barraquer-Simons Syndrome
(Note: this is the M/C lipodystrophy outside of HIV-related and localized form)
Describe the three phenotypic variants of Barraquer-Simons? What disease are associated with this condition?
Three phenotypic variants
(1) loss of fat in upper body only
(2) loss of fat in the upper body + hypertrophy of the lower body
(3) Hemilipodystrophy – half of face/body affected

Associated systemic disease (1/3 of pts)
-- Mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis II (MCGNII) with nephritic syndrome
-- Low C3
-- (+) C3 nephritic factor (C3NeF)
-- Complement dysfunction
-- Autoimmunity – juvenile dermatomyositis, scleroderma, SLE, anemia, thyroid dysfunction
Pathogenesis of Barraquer-Simons?
Pathogenesis
AD or sporadic
Exact pathogenesis unknown

Adipsin
Produced by adipocytes
Identical to factor:
- Important in alternative complement pathway
- Also distributed in the cephalothoracic part of the body

C3 nephritic factor (C3NeF)
IgG autoantibody against an alternative pathway enzyme
Fat cells + C3NeF --> fat lysis
Identify the disease:

Cachectic facies:
- Loss of buccal, parotid, preauricular fat pads
- Zygomatic accentuation

Peripheral fat loss – extremities, buttocks

Fat redistribution
Central obesity
Buffalo hump
HIV Protease Inhibitor-Associated Lipodystrophy
What drug is most often associated with HIV Protease Inhibitor-Associated Lipodystrophy
MC associated with indinavir
- Onset at 2-21 months after starting therapy (mean 10)
- Prevalence 50 %, if taking meds for 12-18 months
- Combining PIs --> worse disease
What is the most common associated systemic disturbance seen in PI assoc lipodystrophy?
Associated systemic disturbances:
- Metabolic – increased TG/cholesterol, insulin resistance
- Cardiac disease common
Related to degree of hyperlipidemia
Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor (NRTI)-induced Lipodystrophy

How is this different from PI-induced lipodystrophy?
NO insulin resistance
-- Glucose, insulin, C-peptide are low

Less hyperlipidemia (not problematic)
Pathogenesis of NRTI induced Lipodystrophy is linked to what?
Mitochondrial damage
MC causes of NRTI induced lipodystrophy?
Most commonly stavudine (and zidovudine)

M/C cause of Involutional lipodystrophy
ILK or IM or intra-articular steroid or antibiotic injections
