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.
Familial Partial Lipodystrophy, Dunnigan Type Autosomal dominant is the manner of inheritance of this condition Dunnigan-type familial partial lipodystrophy , also known as FPLD Type II and abbreviated as ( FPLD2 ), is a rare monogenic form of insulin resistance characterized by loss of subcutaneous fat from the extremities , trunk , and ...
Lipodystrophy can be divided into the following types: [5]: 495–7 Congenital lipodystrophy syndromes Congenital generalized lipodystrophy (Berardinelli-Seip syndrome) Familial partial lipodystrophy; Marfanoid–progeroid–lipodystrophy syndrome; Chronic atypical neutrophilic dermatosis with lipodystrophy and elevated temperature syndrome [6]
A genetic workup should be performed if the familial form of lipodystrophy is suggested. Laboratory work for associated diseases includes: [ citation needed ] Metabolic disease - fasting glucose, glucose tolerance test, lipid profile, and fasting insulin to characterize the insulin resistance state; free testosterone (in women) to look for ...

Lipedema has been described in familial clusters, suggesting a genetic component. [9] It often appears around times of hormonal change such as puberty, pregnancy, and menopause, suggesting a potential hormonal component. [10] Having obesity doesn’t cause lipedema, but more than half of people with this condition have a BMI higher than 35. [11]
