Abstract excerpt
The insulin-secreting pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, insulinomas, characterized by increased pancreatic islet β-cell proliferation, express the phosphorylated isoform of the β-cell differentiation factor HLXB9 that interacts with NONO/p54NRB, a survival factor. Interestingly, two different homozygous germline mutations in HLXB9, p.F248L and p.F272L, were reported in neonatal diabetes, a condition with...
