Abstract excerpt
Permanent neonatal diabetes (PNDM) is a rare genetic condition characterized by hyperglycemia, insulinopenia, and failure to thrive beginning in the first 6 months of life. Recessive mutations in INS lead to decreased production of insulin via a variety of mechanisms. We present a case of two brothers, born to consanguineous parents, with a novel homozygous intronic variant in the INS gene. Each patient presented...
