Abstract excerpt
Persistent Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycaemia of Infancy (PHHI) is a metabolic syndrome of unregulated insulin secretion. It is a heterogenous disease with causes linked to mutations of the ATP sensitive potassium channels of the beta cell, as well as to metabolism in the beta cell. 5 candidate genes--ABCC8, KCNJ11, GCK, GLUD1 and SCHAD have been implicated in the disease so far, however the aetiology of the disease...
