Persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy (PHHI) can occur as a result of mutations in the subunits that form the ATP-sensitive potassium channel (K+ATP) in pancreatic beta-cells which play a major role in modulating insulin secretion from the beta-cells. Mutations have been shown in the genes for these subunits, namely for the plasma membrane sulfonylurea receptor (SUR1), ABCC8, and its associated...
