Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Mutations in the KATP channel genes, ABCC8 and KCNJ11, are the most common cause of congenital hyperinsulinism. The diagnosis of KATP-hyperinsulinism is important for the clinical management of the condition. We aimed to determine the clinical features that help to identify KATP-hyperinsulinism at diagnosis. DESIGN: We studied 761 individuals with KATP-hyperinsulinism and 862 probands with...
