Abstract excerpt
Two types of histopathological lesions, a focal adenomatous hyperplasia of islet cells of the pancreas in about 30% of operated sporadic cases, and a diffuse form can be observed in congenital hyperinsulinism, or Persistent Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycemia of Infancy (PHHI). In sporadic focal forms, specific losses of maternal alleles (LOH) of the imprinted chromosomal region 11p15, restricted to the hyperplastic...
