This systematic review reports that lipedema most likely follows autosomal dominant inheritance with incomplete penetrance and sex limitation (positive family history in up to 64% of women), identifies no confirmed gene for primary non-syndromic lipedema, and catalogs syndromic associations (POU1F1A c.196C>T p.Pro24Leu; NSD1 p.Cys2175Ser/Sotos; 7q11.23 deletion/Williams-Beuren with ELN, FZD9, MLXIPL; ABCC6/PXE; ALDH18A1/cutis laxa III) plus 17 GWAS/animal-model candidate genes (e.g., LYPLAL1, TBX15, HOXC13, RSPO3, VEGFA, PROX1, VEGFR3, PRDM16).
