About This Section
| Entrez Gene summary for BSCL2: This gene encodes the multi-pass transmembrane protein protein seipin. This protein localizes to the endoplasmicreticulum and may be important for lipid droplet morphology. Mutations in this gene have been associated withcongenital generalized lipodystrophy type 2 or Berardinelli-Seip syndrome, a rare autosomal recessive diseasecharacterized by a near absence of adipose tissue and severe insulin resistance. Alternatively spliced transcriptvariants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Naturally occurring read-through transcriptionoccurs between this locus and the neighboring locus HNRNPUL2 (heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein U-like2).(provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011) UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: BSCL2_HUMAN, Q96G97Function: Is a regulator of lipid catabolism essential for adipocyte differentiation. May also be involved in thecentral regulation of energy homeostasis (By similarity). Necessary for correct lipid storage and lipid dropletsmaintenance; may play a tissue-autonomous role in controlling lipid storage in adipocytes and in preventing ectopiclipid droplet formation in non-adipose tissues Gene Wiki entry for BSCL2

Defects in BSCL2 are the cause of congenital generalized lipodystrophy type 2 (CGL2) [MIM:269700]. Congenitalgeneralized lipodystrophy is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a near absence of adipose tissue,extreme insulin resistance, hypertriglyceridemia, hepatic steatosis and early onset of diabetes Defects in BSCL2 are the cause of spastic paraplegia type 17 (SPG17) [MIM:270685]; also known as Silverspastic paraplegia syndrome. Spastic paraplegia is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a slow, gradual,progressive weakness and spasticity of the lower limbs. SPG17 is characterized by prominent amyotrophy of the handmuscles, the presence of mild to severe pyramidal tract signs, and spastic paraplegia. SPG17 is a motor neuron diseaseoverlapping with distal spinal muscular atrophy type 5 Defects in BSCL2 are a cause of distal hereditary motor neuronopathy type 5A (HMN5A) [MIM:600794]; also knownas distal hereditary motor neuropathy type V (DSMAV). A disorder characterized by distal muscular atrophy mainlyaffecting the upper extremities, in contrast to other distal motor neuronopathies. These constitute a heterogeneousgroup of neuromuscular diseases caused by selective degeneration of motor neurons in the anterior horn of the spinalcord, without sensory deficit in the posterior horn. The overall clinical picture consists of a classical distalmuscular atrophy syndrome in the legs without clinical sensory loss. The disease starts with weakness and wasting ofdistal muscles of the anterior tibial and peroneal compartments of the legs. Later on, weakness and atrophy may expandto the proximal muscles of the lower limbs and/or to the distal upper limbs 20/28 diseases for BSCL2 (see all 28): About MalaCardslipodystrophy congenital generalized lipodystrophy type 2 congenital generalized lipodystrophy spastic paraplegia spastic paraplegia 17 insulin resistance paraplegia distal hereditary motor neuropathy type v distal hereditary motor neuropathy spasticity spinal muscular atrophy silver spastic paraplegia syndrome acanthosis nigricans hereditary spastic paraplegia autosomal recessive disease mandibuloacral dysplasia motor neuron disease corpus callosum muscular atrophy diabetes mellitus
