Clues Found By John Hopkins Researchers Point to Cause of a Rare Fat-distribution Disease

Johns Hopkins researchers stumbled upon mutations associated with familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD), a rare disease that disrupts normal patterns of fat distribution throughout the body while studying a protein that gives structure to the nucleus of cells. "Our findings open new paths for learning how and why fat cells are disproportionately affected by mutations in the protein lamin A, which is found in the nucleus of most cells of the body," says Katherine ...
