| Abstract | Background and Objective: Severe metabolic complications generally manifest at an early age in Berardinelli – Seip congenital lipodystrophy (BSCL) and their management is especially challenging. Nutritional intervention with low lipid personalized diets is considered by experts to be fundamental in handling the disease when associated with medical therapy, however little is known about the beneficial effects of dietary interventions alone. Aim: To underline the importance of a well-structured low-fat diet in BSCL patients. Methods and Results. A BSCL male patient strictly followed a personalized hypolipemicdiet (60% carbohydrates, 22% fats and 18% proteins) since clinical diagnosis at the age of one year. Interestingly, pharmacological interventions were not required at any point during follow up. Aged 16 years the patient was referred to our centre. Biochemistry, hormonal evaluation, 75 mg oral glucose tolerance test, cardiac evaluation and abdominal ultrasound were performed, revealing no abnormalities. Genetic analysis and leptin dosage were carried out, confirming the diagnosis of BSCL type 1 (homozygosity for c.493-1G>C pathogenic variant in AGPAT2 gene) and showing undetectable circulating levels of leptin (< 0.229 mcg/L). Diet therapy alone was therefore maintained, scheduling follow-up visits every six months, with excellent disease control ever since. Conclusions. This report proves how a personalized low-fat diet is of great help in the management of BSCL and its complications. In addition, a specific hypolipemic diet could be used alone as an effective long-term treatment in selected cases with high compliance and, probably, a milder phenotype. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
