LMNA-associated partial lipodystrophy: anticipation of metabolic complications
Conclusions
This study is a rare example of anticipation unrelated to a trinucleotide expansion. Discovery of this early occurrence of metabolic complications in young generations underlines the utility of presymptomatic genetic diagnosis, with careful metabolic screening and preventive lifestyle in all at-risk individuals.
