Abstract excerpt
Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is genetically heterogeneous, caused by pathogenic variants in multiple known genes regulating insulin secretion from the pancreatic β-cells. The ABCC8 gene encodes the sulfonylurea receptor 1 (SUR1), a key player in insulin secretion, and pathogenic variants in ABCC8 are the most common cause of CHI. With increased application of genetic testing in clinical practice, variants of...
