05/01/2003 - "OBJECTIVES: Familial partial lipodystrophy, Dunnigan variety (FPLD), is an autosomal dominant disorder due to missense mutations in the lamin A/C (LMNA) gene encoding nuclear lamina proteins"
03/01/2007 - "Mutations in LMNA encoding lamin A and C proteins cause monogenic syndromes characterized by muscular dystrophy and familial partial lipodystrophy"
06/10/2007 - "Mutations in genes encoding the intermediate filament nuclear lamins and associated proteins cause a wide spectrum of diseases sometimes called "laminopathies." Diseases caused by mutations in LMNA encoding A-type lamins include autosomal dominant Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy and related myopathies, Dunnigan-type familial partial lipodystrophy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2B1 and developmental and accelerated aging disorders"
06/01/2000 - "It is still not at all clear how defects in these nuclear membrane proteins are related to the phenotype, even less clear that LMNA mutations can also be associated with familial dilated cardiomyopathy with no weakness, and even familial partial lipodystrophy with diabetes mellitus and coronary heart disease! What began as clinical studies in a relatively rare form of dystrophy has progressed to detailed research into the functions of nuclear membrane proteins particularly in regard to various forms of heart disease."
08/01/2002 - "The LMNA gene encoding two nuclear envelope proteins (lamins A and C [lamin A/C]) maps to chromosome 1q21 and has been associated with five distinct pathologies, including Dunnigan-type familial partial lipodystrophy, a condition that is characterized by subcutaneous fat loss and is invariably associated with insulin resistance and diabetes"
