NIH Rare Diseases : ⁵³ Familial partial lipodystrophy type Kobberling is a rare subtype of early-onset familial partial lipodystrophy (FPL), characterized by fat loss in the lower limbs and abnormal fat increase in other areas. The symptoms are similar to those seen in familial partial lipodystrophy, Dunnigan type (the most common type of FPL). However, only arms and legs have fat loss, and there is a normal or slightly increased fat distribution on the face, neck, and trunk, with excess of belly fat (central obesity). Metabolic abnormalities including insulin resistance, high blood pressure (hypertension), and high levels of fat in the blood (hypertriglyceridemia) have also been reported. This form of FPL has only been reported in women. Inheritance seems to be autosomal dominant, but the exact cause is not known. Treatment includes medication for the metabolic problems, diet and exercises, and in some cases, surgical procedures.

MalaCards based summary : Lipodystrophy, Familial Partial, Type 1, also known as familial partial lipodystrophy type 1, is related to familial partial lipodystrophy and acanthosis nigricans. An important gene associated with Lipodystrophy, Familial Partial, Type 1 is LMNA (Lamin A/C), and among its related pathways/superpathways are AMP-activated Protein Kinase (AMPK) Signaling and Sterol Regulatory Element-Binding Proteins (SREBP) signalling. Affiliated tissues include ovary, skin and bone, and related phenotypes are diabetes mellitus and hypertension

Disease Ontology : ¹² A familial partial lipodystrophy characterized by loss of adipose tissue that is confined to the extremities with normal or increased fat in other areas of the body.

OMIM : ⁵⁷ Familial partial lipodystrophy type 1 (FPLD1), or Kobberling-type lipodystrophy, is characterized by loss of adipose tissue confined to the extremities, with normal or increased distribution of fat on the face, neck, and trunk (Kobberling and Dunnigan, 1986).
