TL;DR: A genome screen of nine BSCL families from two geographical clusters revealed mutations in a gene homologous to the murine guanine nucleotide-binding protein, γ3-linked gene (Gng3lg) in all BSCL2-linked families, of general importance for understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying regulation of body fat distribution and insulin resistance.
