Abstract

Lipodystrophy syndrome caused by LMNA gene mutation is a group of autosomal dominant monogenic diseases, characterized by selective fat loss and metabolic abnormalities with insulin resistance. In this review, we summarize the clinical manifestations caused by multiple pathogenic LMNA mutations reported so far, including metabolic complications, cardiovascular abnormalities, gonadal axis disorders, myopathy, and renal abnormalities. Meanwhile, we also clarify the possible pathogenic mechanism, diagnosis, and treatment, in order to improve the understanding of the disease and to provide a reference for basic research and clinical diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
