Abstract excerpt
Hepatocyte nuclear factor-4 alpha (HNF-4A) regulates genes with roles in glucose metabolism and β-cell development. Although pathogenic HNF4A variants are commonly associated with maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY1; HNF4A-MODY), rare phenotypes also include hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, renal Fanconi syndrome and liver disease. While the association of rare functionally damaging HNF1A variants with...
