  1. Sample number (n) changes because some patients have some missing responses. Data presented as median (25–75 percentiles). Categorical data are shown as n (%). P values are calculated using the Mann–Whitney U test for continuous variables and the chi-square test for categorical parameters

CGL, Congenital Generalized Lipodystrophy; FPLD, Familial Partial Lipodystrophy; BMI, Body Mass Index; HbA1c, Hemoglobin A1c; FBG, Fasting Blood Glucose; LDL, Low-Density Lipoprotein; HDL, High-Density Lipoprotein; ALT, Alanine Transaminase; WBC, White Blood Cell Count; SF36_PF, Physical Functioning; SF36_RP, Role Limitations due to Physical Health; SF36_BP, Pain; SF36_GH, General Health SF36_VT, Vitality; SF36_SF, Social Functioning; SF36_RE, Role Limitations due to Emotional Problems; SF36_MH, Mental Health; VAS, Visual Analog Scale. Facit Fatigue total score ranges from 0 to 52. Lower scores indicate greater fatigue. Per local regulations, no data was collected on leptin replacement status during follow-up. All subjects were leptin naïve at baseline; however, it is likely that a subset of subjects with GL received leptin replacement during follow-up that may have caused elevations in leptin levels at year-2 visit
