Summary

In the Metabolic Disorder clinic at The Hospital for Sick Children, the investigators identified a male, proband with possible Luft's disease. The investigators hypothesize that Luft's disease is caused by excess or dysregulation of brown/beige fat tissue.

To address the hypothesis, the investigators would like to assess brown fat distribution and activity in this subject.
