Abstract excerpt
Activating mutations in the genes encoding the ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channel subunits Kir6.2 and SUR1 are a common cause of neonatal diabetes. Here, we analyse the molecular mechanism of action of the heterozygous mutation F132L, which lies in the first set of transmembrane helices (TMD0) of SUR1. This mutation causes severe developmental delay, epilepsy and permanent neonatal diabetes (DEND syndrome)....
