Familial partial lipodystrophy, Dunnigan type belongs to the group of partial lipodystrophies with insulin resistance. Clinically, it is mainly characterised by the loss of subcutaneous adipose tissue in the lower parts of the body (limbs, buttocks, trunk) accompanied by an accumulation of adipose tissue in the face and neck, resulting in pseudo-cushingoid facies.
