ECE2018 Symposia All you need to know about lipodystrophy (Endorsed by Endocrine Connections) (3 abstracts)
UK.

The question I will address is if this means that what happens in patients with monogenic forms of lipodystrophy is at all relevant to common forms of insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome.
