Abstract:

Barraquer-Simons syndrome is a rare disease characterized by the disappearance of subcutaneous fat in the upper half of the body with normal or excessive deposition of fat in the lower half of the body. There are other terms that refer to this disease: Hollander-Simons syndrome, progressive lipodystrophy, partial lipodystrophy, paradoxical lipodystrophy, progressive segmental lipodystrophy, i.e. the name emphasizes the disappearance of fat in certain parts of the body.

Abstract:

Barraquer-Simons syndrome (SBS) belongs to the groupof lipodystrophy with complex etiology and pathophysiology and is characterized by progressive loss of subcutaneous fat, presumably related to autoimmune destruction of adipocytes. SBS is frequently associated with autoimmune disorders. Its first signs are found in childhood or puberty. It is characterized by gradual onset from the face with subsequent extension of the pathological process downwards without the involvement of the lower extremities. At the same time, there is a clear delimitation between the lipodystrophic and unaffected zones

Abstract:

Complement overactivation has been reported in most patients with Barraquer–Simons syndrome (BSS), a rare form of acquired partial lipodystrophy. Complement Factor D (FD) is a serine protease with a crucial role in the activation of the alternative pathway of the complement system, which is mainly synthesized by adipose tissue. However, its role in the pathogenesis of BSS has not been addressed. In this study, plasma FD concentration was measured in 13 patients with BSS, 20 patients with acquired generalized lipodystrophy, 22 patients with C3 glomerulopathy (C3G), and 50 healthy controls.
