Abstract Background Insulin signalling is mediated by the INSR -encoded receptor tyrosine kinase. Biallelic INSR variants cause the most severe insulin resistance (IR), whereas heterozygous mutations cause less rare but still severe IR. Dominantly inherited IR has been attributed to dominant negative action of intracel...

ABSTRACT Recent studies have shown that adipose tissue (AT) secretes elevated levels of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in obesity, and these EVs play roles in metabolic diseases. The inhibition of calpains has anti‐inflammatory and anti‐fibrotic effects on AT in mice and reduces EV secretion in some cell types in vitro....

Advances in research enable precision medicine for rare metabolic diseases. The approval of therapies as melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) agonists for the treatment of hyperphagia and obesity in monogenic disorders (POMC, PCSK1, and LEPR deficiencies) and Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS), affecting fewer than 1 in 20,000 (BBS...

The findings highlight the broad metabolic benefits and strong clinically meaningful efficacy of setmelanotide in this population, supporting its potential as a therapeutic option for patients with aHO and suggest reductions in visceral fat burden, hepatic steatosis, and overall cardiometabolic risk.

While patients with Lamin A/C Arg482 missense changes are at very low risk for progressive CKD, patients harboring Arg349Trp show nephrotic range proteinuria and kidney failure in midlife, and patients with the Arg349Trp substitution require early renoprotective intervention to potentially halt progression and prevent...
