Compared with other patients with APS, those with the heterozygous LMNA p.T10I mutation were younger in age but had increased prevalence of generalized lipodystrophy, diabetes mellitus, acanthosis nigricans, hypertriglyceridemia, and hepatomegaly, together with higher fasting serum insulin and triglyceride levels and lower serum leptin and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels.
The two siblings who presented with generalized lipodystrophy were diagnosed with an atypical progeroid syndrome with a p.D136H mutation in the LMNA gene (NM_005572).
We now show compound heterozygous mutations, Phe361fsX379 and Trp340Arg, in the zinc metalloproteinase (ZMPSTE24) gene in one of the four patients who had severe MAD associated with progeroid appearance and generalized lipodystrophy.
