Abstract excerpt
To elucidate the genetic etiology of persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy (PHHI) in the Japanese population, we conducted a polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis of the sulfonylurea receptor 1 (SUR1) and Kir6.2 genes in 17 Japanese PHHI patients, including a pair of siblings from a consanguineous family. We also analyzed the glutamate dehydrogenase gene for the...
