Congenital hyperinsulinism causes persistent hypoglycemia in neonates and infants. Most often, uncontrolled insulin secretion (IS) results from a lack of functional K(ATP) channels in all β-cells or only in β-cells within a resectable focal lesion. In more rare cases, without K(ATP) channel mutations, hyperfunctional islets are confined within few lobules, whereas hypofunctional islets are present throughout the...
