Presentation

Berardinelli-Seip congenital lipodystrophy is a rare autosomal recessive condition associating insulin resistance, absence of subcutaneous fat and muscular hypertrophy.[2] With characteristic features like hepatomegaly, accelerated growth, muscle hypertrophy, lack of adipose tissue, hirsutism and hypertriglyceridemia.[3] Common cardiovascular alterations related to this syndrome are cardiac hypertrophy and arterial hypertension.[4] and it is associated with metabolic syndrome.
