Abstract excerpt
Insulin receptor gene (INSR) mutations are a relatively rare and diverse cause of insulin resistance (IR), typically associated with a lean phenotype. However, we present a unique case of severe obesity and Type A severe IR syndrome in a patient with a heterozygous mutation of the INSR gene. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) analysis was conducted to identify the genetic variant. A 16-year-old girl with severe...
