Severe transient neonatal hyperinsulinism: First Peruvian case series
Congenital hyperinsulinism is characterized by dysregulated insulin secretion and is the most common and severe cause of persistent hypoglycemia in pediatrics. Brain damage rates can be as high as 50% due to inadequate treatment.

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 ...

Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia in children and adolescents: Recent advances in understanding of pathophysiology and management [PDF]
Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (HH) is characterized by unregulated insulin release, leading to persistently low blood glucose concentrations with lack of alternative fuels, which increases the risk of neurological damage in these patients. It is the most

Glutamate induces autophagy via the two-pore channels in neural cells [PDF]
NAADP (nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate) has been proposed as a second messenger for glutamate in neuronal and glial cells via the activation of the lysosomal Ca2+ channels TPC1 and TPC2.

Introduction. Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia in children is most commonly due to congenital hyperinsulinism. When hyperinsu-linemia is accompanied by fasting hypoglycemia and postprandial hyperglycemia, rare syndromes of severe insulin resistance, which ...

Insulin Autoimmune Syndrome: A Chinese Expert Consensus Statement
ABSTRACT Insulin autoimmune syndrome (IAS) is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by spontaneous hypoglycemia. The incidence of IAS is higher in East Asian populations compared to other populations. Delayed diagnosis and treatment can lead to recurrent hypoglycemia, significant glucose fluctuations, and adverse clinical outcomes, including life ...

A novel mutation of gene in a patient with diazoxide-unresponsive congenital hyperinsulinism [PDF]
Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is a rare condition that can cause irreversible brain damage during the neonatal period owing to the associated hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia in CHI occurs secondary to the dysregulation of insulin secretion.

MAGEL2 (patho‐)physiology and Schaaf–Yang syndrome
Pathogenic variants in MAGEL2 cause Schaaf–Yang syndrome (SYS). MAGEL2 has diverse physiological functions, particularly in the human hypothalamus. Loss of function likely explains several SYS phenotypes. In addition it has become evident that neomorphic effects of truncated MAGEL2 proteins likely contribute to the severity of this complex ...

iRegNet3D: three-dimensional integrated regulatory network for the genomic analysis of coding and non-coding disease mutations [PDF]
The mechanistic details of most disease-causing mutations remain poorly explored within the context of regulatory networks. We present a high-resolution three-dimensional integrated regulatory network (iRegNet3D) in the form of a web tool, where we ...
