Abstract excerpt
Hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia (HH) is caused by mutations in the key genes involved in regulation of insulin secretion from the pancreatic β-cells and mutations in ABCC8 and KCNJ11 are the most common causes of HH. Mutations in HADH (which encodes the enzyme 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase) are a rare cause of HH. We report three siblings (21, 9, and 7 years old) from a consanguineous Saudi family with HH due...
