Causes of death in patients with Berardinelli-Seip congenital generalized lipodystrophy.

Introduction: Berardinelli-Seip Congenital Lipodystrophy (BSCL) is a rare autosomal recessive disease that affects the development of adipocytes and leads to an inability to store fat in adipocytes. This study aimed to evaluate the life expectancy and the causes of death of patients with BSCL.

Method: We analyzed death certificates, and medical records of BSCL patients who died between 1997 and 2017.
