Description : Congenital generalized lipodystrophy, also known as Berardinelli-Seip syndrome, is
an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by marked paucity of adipose tissue,
extreme insulin resistance, hypertriglyceridemia, hepatic steatosis and early onset
of diabetes (Garg, 2004). For a general description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity
of congenital generalized lipodystrophy, see CGL1 (608594).;
