| Title: | Hepatic Steatosis Resulting From LMNA-Associated Familial Lipodystrophy. |
| Abstract: | Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most prevalent liver disease worldwide, with potential causes stemming from obesity, metabolic syndrome, genetic disorders, and drug toxicity. We report a 42-year-old woman with lipodystrophy and NAFLD due to a pathogenic variant in the LMNA (D300N) gene. This case report attempts to encourage clinicians to consider genetic diseases, specifically lipodystrophies, when working up uncommon causes of NAFLD. |
