Dunnigan-type familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD) is caused by mutations in LMNA, the gene that encodes nuclear lamins A and C. FPLD is characterized by peripheral fat loss, excess central adiposity, insulin resistance, and hyperlipidaemia, which are difficult to treat. We present our 2 years' experience of treatment with rosiglitazone in a subject with FPLD. Insulin requirement decreased significantly from 240 IU/day to 76 IU/day (range 20-240 IU/day) and serum triglyceride concentration was lowered from 13.7 +/- 14.4 mmol/l to 4.5 +/- 4.3 mmol/l and remained stable. Mean HbA(1c) prior to rosiglitazone therapy was 9.4 +/- 1.32% and decreased to 7.4 +/- 0.6% during therapy with rosiglitazone. This case demonstrates the benefits of PPAR gamma-agonists on glycaemic control and dyslipidaemia in a patient with FPLD. This in turn implies that PPAR gamma may play a pathophysiological role in FPLD.
