Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is a cause of persistent and severe hypoglycaemia in infancy. Mutations in the genes ABCC8 and KCNJ11 encoding SUR1 and Kir6.2, respectively, are the commonest cause of CHI. We investigated whether the possession of two DNA variants leading to coding changes in a single allele of ABCC8 can affect the potential mechanism of disease pathogenesis. DESIGN AND PATIENTS: We...
