Bernardinelli-Seip Congenital Lipodystrophy Type 2 Protein Two Hybrid Also known as Seipin, a multi-pass transmembrane protein. Localized in the ER and is predicted to be associated with lipid droplet morphology. Mutations of this gene leads to Berardinelli-Seip syndrome which results in absence of adipose tissue and severe insulin resistance.
Barraquer–Simons syndrome is a rare form of lipodystrophy, which usually first affects the head, and then spreads to the thorax. [2] [3] It is named for Luis Barraquer Roviralta (1855–1928), a Spanish physician, and Arthur Simons (1879–1942), a German physician.
