Magnetic resonance images of patients with partial lipodystrophy. Panels (a, b) show control subjects with normal adipose tissue distribution (a, a 28-year-old healthy woman; b, a 26-year-old healthy man). Panels (c–f) show adipose distribution in FPLD patients: (c), a 30-year-old female with classical codon 482 LMNA mutation (patient 11.1); (d), a 48-year-old female with non-codon 482 LMNA mutation (patient 16.1); (e), a 28-year-old female with PPARG mutation (patient 17.1); (f), a 34-year-old female, mutation negative (patient 18.1). Panels (g, h) show adipose distribution in patients with APL: (g), a 26-year-old male (patient 23); (h), a 32-year-old female (patient 24).
(I), whole body, coronal T1-weighted imaging; (II), orbital fat and scalp, axial T1-weighted imaging; (III), breasts, axial T1-weighted imaging; (IV), external genital region and palms, axial T1-weighted imaging; (V), soles, axial T1-weighted imaging; (VI), patellar region, axial T1-weighted imaging.
