Whats congenital generalized lipodystrophy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fat distribution: This is very rare and both parents are typically carriers. The tissue under the skin has almost no fat under it. Instead, fat accumulates inside muscles, liver, heart. Triglycerides get very high and patients are resistant to insulin. Kids may develop early pubic hair and get diabetes. There are many more details. This condition is very serious.
