Abstract excerpt
Hyperinsulinism-hyperammonemia syndrome is characterized by recurrent and symptomatic hypoglycemias in childhood, secondary to hyperinsulinism associated with mild and asymptomatic hyperammonemia. This syndrome is caused by dominantly expressed mutations of the glutamate dehydrogenase gene (10q23.3). These mutations modify control of enzyme activity and represent the second cause of congenital hyperinsulinism of...
