Focal congenital hyperinsulinism resulting from biallelic loss of function of KCNJ11 gene.

Abstract excerpt

Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) characterised by inappropriate secretion of insulin despite low blood glucose can result in irreversible brain damage if not promptly treated. The most common genetic cause of hyperinsulinism is the pathogenic variants in ABCC8 and KCNJ11, causing dysregulated insulin secretion. Rapid testing is crucial for all patients because finding a mutation significantly impacts this...
