Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: In children with congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI), K(ATP) channel genes (ABCC8 and KCNJ11) can be screened rapidly for potential pathogenic mutations. We aimed to assess the contribution of rapid genetic testing to the clinical management of CHI. DESIGN: Follow-up observational study at two CHI referral hospitals. METHODS: Clinical outcomes such as subtotal pancreatectomy, (18)F-Dopa positron emission...
