The Genetic and Molecular Mechanisms of Congenital Hyperinsulinism [PDF]
Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is a heterogenous and complex disorder in which the unregulated insulin secretion from pancreatic beta-cells leads to hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia. The severity of hypoglycaemia varies depending on the underlying molecular mechanism and genetic defects.

ABSTRACT Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is increasingly used although not officially registered for the management of people living with liver glycogen storage diseases (GSDs). The aims of this study were twofold: (a) to investigate the current experiences of healthcare providers (HCPs), patients, and caregivers using CGM to monitor glucose ...

A case of neonatal persistent hyperinsulinemichypoglycemia
Neonatal hypoglycemia (NH) is a common and important cause of morbidity in newborns. The most common cause of NH is congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI), a phenotypical and genotypical heterogeneous condition characterized by inappropriate insulin secretion.

Clinical and Molecular Characterisation Of Hyperinsulinaemic Hypoglycaemia In Infants Born Small-For-Gestational Age [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: To characterise the phenotype and genotype of neonates born small-for-gestational age (SGA; birth weight 6 months. Normoglycaemia on diazoxide

Pasireotide treatment for severe congenital hyper-insulinism due to a homozygous ABCC8 mutation [PDF]
ABCC8 and KCJN11 mutations cause the most severe diazoxide-resistant forms of congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI). Somatostatin analogues are considered as secondline treatment in diazoxide-unresponsive cases.

An overview of current prenatal genetic screening and diagnosis guidelines
Abstract The landscape of prenatal genetics continues to evolve rapidly, with improvements in processing speed and technology. Clinicians are tasked with staying current with the latest recommendations for prenatal genetic screening and diagnosis in order to provide patient‐centered and evidence‐based care. We present a review of 15 societal guidelines

Unraveling the Interplay Between Metabolism and Neurodevelopment in Health and Disease
Neurodevelopment is orchestrated by precise metabolic regulation. Key metabolic processes—glucose, lipid, and amino acid metabolism—drive cell proliferation, differentiation, synaptogenesis, and neurotransmitter synthesis. These are tightly integrated with signaling pathways like mTOR, AMPK, and insulin/IGF that regulate neuronal growth and synaptic ...

Gene Biomarkers in Congenital Hyperinsulinism
Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is a rare type of disease that causes a severe drop in blood sugar in infants. This diseaseprevents reaching enough sugar to the child’s brain and causes lifelong and permanent damage.

Congenital anomalies from a physics perspective. The key role of "manufacturing" volatility [PDF]
Genetic and environmental factors are traditionally seen as the sole causes of congenital anomalies. In this paper we introduce a third possible cause, namely random "manufacturing" discrepancies with respect to ``design'' values. A clear way to demonstrate the existence of this component is to ``shut'' the two others and to see whether or not there is

Congenital hyperinsulinism and mosaic abnormalities of the ploidy [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Congenital hyperinsulinism and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome both lead to beta islet hyperplasia and neonatal hypoglycaemia. They may be related to complex genetic/epigenetic abnormalities of the imprinted 11p15 region. The possibility of common pathophysiological determinants has not been thoroughly investigated.
