Congenital generalized lipodystrophy type 2

Berardinelli-Seip syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations of the BSCL2 gene. It represents like an endocrinopathy: acromegaloid gigantism, hypertrophy of muscles and genitalia, polycystic ovaries, generalised progressive lipodystrophy, hyperlipidemia, hepatosplenomegaly, acanthosis nigrans, and insulin resistent diabetes.
