Description
Marzhan Rakhimzhanova and co-authors map what is known about lipodystrophy in Central Asia, pairing a regional literature review with their own case series. Published in 2026, the paper covers disorders where fat tissue vanishes, in part or whole, dragging severe insulin resistance and metabolic fallout behind them. The five country region had almost no published record.
Reports proved extremely scarce in the search through mid 2026. The team's cases, of the congenital and acquired generalized forms, show the care barriers directly: late recognition, thin specialist coverage, and missing treatments. Prevalence in the region stays unknown. The authors lay out the gaps and the steps, from registries to training, that could close them.
