Abstract excerpt
Mutations in ABCC8 and KCNJ11 are associated with the most severe and diazoxide-resistant forms of congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI). Somatostatin analogues are commonly used off-label as second-line treatment. While octreotide and lanreotide are the most established options, pasireotide-a second-generation somatostatin analogue with higher affinity for somatostatin receptor subtype 5-has been hypothesized to...
