Targeted NGS and molecular dynamics simulations identified three missense AKR1C1 variants (L54V, L54F, N280K) in lipedema patients that disrupt substrate or cofactor (NADP+) binding, and screening of gnomAD identified 8 rare AKR1C1 polymorphisms as potentially pathogenic, extending AKR1C1 as a candidate gene for autosomal dominant non-syndromic lipedema.
