Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Generalized lipodystrophy is seen. Most people with this trait have none of those conditions, and a gene on this list says nothing about anyone's own genome.
| Gene | How often it is seen | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| BUD13BUD13 spliceosome associated protein | Always | In 1 condition |
| FBN1fibrillin 1 | Always | In 1 condition |
| PSMG2proteasome assembly chaperone 2 | Always | In 1 condition |
| SUPT7LSPT7 like, STAGA complex subunit gamma | Always | In 1 condition |
| BSCL2BSCL2 lipid droplet biogenesis associated, seipin | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| LMNAlamin A/C | Very often (80–99%) | In 2 conditions |
| KCNJ6potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 6 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| MTX2metaxin 2 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| ZMPSTE24zinc metallopeptidase STE24 | Often (30–79%) | In 2 conditions |
| CAV1caveolin 1 | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
How often is among people with one of the gene's conditions, the most often across them, as the Human Phenotype Ontology records it. These pages describe traits and the research behind them; they are not a diagnosis, and a doctor or genetic counsellor is the person to ask about symptoms.
