Acquired generalized lipodystrophy (AGL), also known as Lawrence syndrome [1] and Lawrence–Seip syndrome, [1] is a rare skin condition that appears during childhood or adolescence, characterized by fat loss affecting large areas of the body, particularly the face, arms, and legs.
Lipodystrophy syndromes are a group of genetic or acquired disorders in which the body is unable to produce and maintain healthy fat tissue. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The medical condition is characterized by abnormal or degenerative conditions of the body's adipose tissue .
Congenital generalized lipodystrophy (also known as Berardinelli–Seip lipodystrophy) is an extremely rare autosomal recessive condition, characterized by an extreme scarcity of fat in the subcutaneous tissues. [2] It is a type of lipodystrophy disorder where the magnitude of fat loss determines the severity of metabolic complications. [3]
It is a rare syndrome with no known prevalence, although it is more common than the generalized form of acquired lipodystrophy (Lawrence syndrome). [citation needed] Race: No clear relationship exists between incidence and race in this syndrome; however, most reported patients have been of European descent.

Familial partial lipodystrophy, also known as Köbberling–Dunnigan syndrome, [2] is a rare genetic metabolic condition characterized by the loss of subcutaneous fat. [ 3 ] : 495 FPL also refers to a rare metabolic condition in which there is a loss of subcutaneous fat in the arms, legs and lower torso.

Keppen–Lubinsky syndrome is an extremely rare congenital disorder.The minimal clinical criteria for the Keppen–Lubinsky syndrome are as follows: normal growth parameters at birth, postnatal growth failure, peculiar face with an aged appearance (large prominent eyes, a narrow nasal bridge, a tented upper lip, a high palate, an open mouth), skin tightly adherent to facial bones, generalized ...
