Familial multiple lipomatosis (FML) is an inherited disorder causing slow growth of fatty tumors, primarily affecting overweight women around the age of thirty, and is linked to gastrointestinal issues.
This study analyzed the genetic makeup of seven individuals from five families with FML to clarify its molecular basis, utilizing advanced sequencing methods.
Two new gene variants were discovered in some participants, but their role in FML remains unclear, indicating the need for additional research to explore these findings further.
