In a series of 67 probands, 14.9% had at least one affected first-degree relative (all affected relatives female), X-chromosome linkage analysis in the largest family excluded X-linked dominant inheritance (lod scores < -2) favoring autosomal dominant inheritance with sex limitation, and onset at puberty in 55% of probands plus near-exclusive female occurrence suggested estrogen-dependent expression.

Evidence over time

Evidence (1)

• Lipedema: An inherited condition — Child et al. (2010) ✓ verified — consistent · case series · 2010 · reading confidence: high
  “We present a series of pedigrees and propose that lipedema is a genetic condition with either X-linked dominant inheritance or more likely, autosomal dominant inheritance with sex limitation. Lipedema appears to be a condition almost exclusively affecting females, presumably estrogen-requiring as it”
  The article directly addresses both heredity (familial pedigrees, linkage analysis indicating autosomal dominant inheritance with sex limitation) and hormonal influence (puberty onset, near-exclusive female occurrence suggesting estrogen de

Context (PECO)

Answers these questions

• Do hormones and heredity influence the onset of lipedema? consistent
• What specific genetic variants or inheritance patterns have been identified in lipedema? consistent
• Do hormonal factors (puberty, pregnancy, menopause, estrogen) trigger or influence lipedema onset? consistent
• Is lipedema onset influenced by heredity and family history? consistent
