Comparison of regional body fat (by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scan) of FPLD2 females from the National Institutes of Health (N = 23) with the NHANES controls. (A) The upper limb fat (%) was ≤5th percentile in most of the affected females. (B) All affected females had lower limb fat (%) ≤1st percentile of NHANES. (C) Truncal fat ranged between 5th and 50th percentile in most affected females except in 3 where it was ≤1st percentile of NHANES. (D) The ratio of lower limb fat/truncal fat was ≤1st percentile of NHANES in most affected females, except in 3 patients, 1 of whom had “atypical FPLD2.” FPLD2, familial partial lipodystrophy, Dunnigan variety; NHANES, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
