Congenital generalized lipodystrophy
Congenital generalized lipodystrophy (also known as "Berardinelli–Seip syndrome") is a rare autosomal dominant skin condition, characterized by an extreme paucity of fat in the subcutaneous tissues.[1]: 495
Berardinelli-Seip congenital lipodystrophy is a rare autosomal recessive condition associating insulin resistance, absence of subcutaneous fat and muscular hypertrophy.[2]With characteristic features like hepatomegaly, accelerated growth, muscle hypertrophy, lack of adipose tissue, hirsutism and hypertriglyceridemia.[3]Common cardiovascular alterations related to this syndrome are cardiac hypertrophy and arterial hypertension.[4] and it is associated with metabolic syndrome.
