"We discovered that rare mutations in LMNA, which encodes lamins A and C, underlie autosomal dominant Dunnigan-type familial partial lipodystrophy. Because familial partial lipodystrophy is an extreme example of genetically disturbed adipocyte differentiation, it is possible that common variation...

Dubé, Joseph B., Wang, Jian, Cao, Henian, McIntyre, Adam D., Johansen, Christopher T., Hopkins, Scarlett E., Stringer, Randa, Hosseinzadeh, Siyavash, Kennedy, Brooke A., Ban, Matthew R., Young, T. Kue, Connelly, Philip W., Dewailly, Eric, Bjerregaard, Peter, Boyer, Bert B., Hegele, Robert A.
"Background: Inuit are considered to be vulnerable to cardiovascular disease because their lifestyles are becoming more Westernized. During sequence analysis of Inuit individuals at extremes of lipid traits, we identified 2 nonsynonymous variants in low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), namely...
