Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Activating mutations in the ABCC8 gene encoding the KATP channel subunit SUR1 cause β-cell dysfunction with non-autoimmune diabetes mellitus in neonates or infants. We investigated whether activating ABCC8 mutations affect endocrine pancreas development. METHODS: We studied a male infant with compound heterozygous ABCC8 mutations (p.Arg826Trp/p.Ile93Thr) causing neonatal diabetes mellitus. He...
