Abstract excerpt
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Congenital hyperinsulinism caused by mutations in the KATP-channel-encoding genes (KATPHI) is a potentially life-threatening disorder of the pancreatic beta cells. No optimal medical treatment is available for patients with diazoxide-unresponsive diffuse KATPHI. Therefore, we aimed to create a model of KATPHI using patient induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived islets. METHODS: We derived...
