Clinical Updates on Congenital and Acquired Lipodystrophy
Translating Research Into Practice
FACULTY David B. Savage, MD Wellcome Trust Senior Clinical Fellow Department of Clinical Biochemistry University of Cambridge Metabolic Research Laboratories Cambridge, United Kingdom
Dr. Savage is a Wellcome Trust Senior Clinical Fellow at Institute of Metabolic Science at Cambridge University. The principal focus of his laboratory is to understand the molecular and physiological basis of insulin resistance in humans. He has a keen interest in rare genetic disorders characterized by extreme insulin resistance, particularly lipodystrophy, and has worked in this area for the past 14 years.

TARGET AUDIENCE The educational design of this activity addresses the needs of endocrinologists and other health care providers involved in the management of the heterogeneous group of lipodystrophy syndromes.
STATEMENT OF NEED/PROGRAM OVERVIEW Lipodystrophies are a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by pathologic loss and redistribution of fat tissue as well as reduced levels of adipocyte-derived hormones, such as leptin and adiponectin.1,2 Affected patients may present with a range of metabolic complications, which often include severe insulin resistance, diabetes, hypertriglyceridemia, and hepatic steatosis.3,4 Unfortunately, varied manifestations and unfamiliar etiologies delay diagnosis and appropriate treatment.2 Even experienced endocrinologists may miss lipodystrophy as they focus on the growing problem of obesity-related insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.5 Moreover, most therapies that are used to treat the associated metabolic issues have not been studied in individuals with lipodystrophy, and the prospects for benefit vary depending on the type of lipodystrophy and patient-specific presentation.6 This Interactive Professor™ program will discuss key features suggestive of a lipodystrophy disorder, clinical clues to a differential diagnosis of underlying causes, and recommendations on employing the available treatment armamentarium, including treatment approaches that target specific underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms.7
