In these LMNA-linked lipodystrophic patients, the prevalence of PCOS, infertility, and gestational diabetes was higher than in the general population. Moreover, the prevalence of gestational diabetes and miscarriages was higher in lipodystrophic LMNA-mutated women than previously reported in PCOS women with similar body mass index. Women with lipodystrophies due to LMNA mutations are at high risk of infertility, gestational diabetes, and obstetrical complications and require reinforced gynecological and obstetrical care.
