Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Activating mutations in the KCNJ11 gene, which encodes the Kir6.2 subunit of the pancreatic beta-cell K(ATP) channel, result in permanent and transient neonatal diabetes. The majority of KCNJ11 mutations are spontaneous, but the parental origin of these mutations is not known. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to determine the parental origin of de novo KCNJ11 mutations and investigate the possibility of...
