BACKGROUND: The most severe forms of congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) are caused by inactivating mutations of two KATP channel genes, KCNJ11 and ABCC8. Unresponsiveness to diazoxide and need for subtotal pancreatectomy can usually be predicted by genetic form, particularly biallelic mutations in KATP channel genes. A few reports indicated marked clinical heterogeneity in siblings with identical biallelic...
