The etiology of cardiac hypertrophy in infants
This study aimed to describe the variety of etiologies currently identified in infants with cardiac hypertrophy (CH) and investigate whether there is a relation with hyperinsulinism, echocardiographic characteristics and prognosis.

Congenital hyperinsulinism: clinical cases
Background. Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is a hereditary disorder presenting with the hypersecretion of insulin by pancreatic beta cells and further development of hypoglycaemia. CHI is an orphan disease.

Congenital hyperinsulinism is a rare disorder that commonly presents in the immediate postnatal period as persistent hypoglycemia. The condition is frequently resistant to medical therapies, and the genetic mutations implicated in the disorder can be predictive of response to therapy.

A new familial form of a late-onset, persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy caused by a novel mutation in KCNJ11. [PDF]
The ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP) functions as a metabo-electric transducer in regulating insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells. The pancreatic KATP channel is composed of a pore-forming inwardly-rectifying potassium channel, Kir6.2, and a ...

A Case Series: Congenital Hyperinsulinism [PDF]
Congenital hyperinsulinism is a rare inherited disease caused by mutations in genes responsible for β-cell's function in glucose hemostasis leading to profound and recurrent hypoglycemia. The incidence of the disease is about 1 in 50000 newborns. Mutations in at least 8 genes have been reported to cause congenital hyperinsulinism.

A Multicenter Experience with Long-Acting Somatostatin Analogues in Patients with Congenital Hyperinsulinism [PDF]
Background/Aims: Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is a rare disease characterized by recurrent severe hypoglycemia. In the diffuse form of CHI, pharmacotherapy is the preferred choice of treatment.

The genetic basis of congenital hyperinsulinism [PDF]
Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is biochemically characterised by the dysregulated secretion of insulin from pancreatic beta-cells. It is a major cause of persistent hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia (HH) in the newborn and infancy period. Genetically CHI is a heterogeneous condition with mutations in seven different genes described.

Diazoxide-responsive hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia caused by HNF4A gene mutations [PDF]
Objective: The phenotype associated with heterozygous HNF4A gene mutations has recently been extended to include diazoxide responsive neonatal hypoglycemia in addition to maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY).

Familial Focal Congenital Hyperinsulinism [PDF]
Background:Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is a cause of persistent hypoglycemia. Histologically, there are two subgroups, diffuse and focal. Focal CHI is a consequence of two independent events, inheritance of a paternal mutation in ABCC8/KCNJ11 and paternal uniparental isodisomy of chromosome 11p15 within the embryonic pancreas, leading to an ...
