Siblings With HNF4A Congenital Hyperinsulinism From Possible Parental Gonadal Mosaicism. [PDF]
Congenital hyperinsulinism is the most common cause of persistent hypoglycemia in early infancy. Mutations in the gene for heterozygous hepatocyte nuclear transcription factor 4-alpha (HNF4A) account for approximately 5% of cases and are inherited in an ...
