Lipodystrophy syndromes are rare diseases characterized by anatomical and functional defects of adipose tissue, frequently leading to severe insulin resistance-associated metabolic complications. Subtypes of lipodystrophy syndromes differ in: their clinical presentation, with generalized or partial loss of adipose tissue; in their origin, either genetic or acquired; and in their comorbidities, forming a heterogeneous group of disorders of different severity. The European Consortium of Lipodystrophies (ECLip) was founded in 2014 as a non-profit network of health professionals, scientists and patient associations. ECLip aims to promote international collaborations to increase pathophysiological and clinical knowledge, and improve the management of lipodystrophy syndromes. ECLip now comprises 59 groups from 30 countries from Europe and beyond. The consortium developed in parallel to the increased awareness of clinical diagnosis, the growing scientific interest for these diseases at the crossroads between adipose tissue biology, whole body metabolism, genetics and immunity, and to the emergence of new pharmacological approaches. The ECLip congress, held every 18 months, aims to discuss the recent achievements and projects in the field of lipodystrophies, to consolidate ECLip activities and to promote future collaborations, highlighting clinical and fundamental aspects as well as patients’ perspectives. Oral communications presented during the meeting in Paris, France, in 2025 are summarized in these minutes.
