Congenital Hyperinsulinism: Current Laboratory-Based Approaches to the Genetic Diagnosis of a Heterogeneous Disease

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Congenital hyperinsulinism is characterised by the inappropriate release of insulin during hypoglycaemia. This potentially life-threatening disorder can occur in isolation, or present as a feature of syndromic disease.

Congenital hyperinsulinism in infancy and childhood: challenges, unmet needs and the perspective of patients and families

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2022
Background Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is the most common cause of persistent hypoglycemia in infants and children, and carries a considerable risk of neurological damage and developmental delays if diagnosis and treatment are delayed. Despite rapid

Indocyanine Green (ICG)-Guided Identification of Hypermetabolic Pancreatic Nodules in Focal Congenital Hyperinsulinism: A Case Report in a 3-Month-Old Infant

European Journal of Pediatric Surgery Reports, 2022
Indocyanine green (ICG)-guided near-infrared fluorescence has been recently adopted in pediatric surgery, although its use in the treatment of congenital hyperinsulinism has not been reported.

Hyperinsulinism

Endocrines, 2022
Congenital or monogenic hyperinsulinism (HI) is a group of rare genetic disorders characterized by dysregulated insulin secretion and is the most common cause of persistent hypoglycemia in children.

Case Report: The importance of genetic counseling for families with hyperinsulinism [PDF]

Frontiers in Pediatrics
Congenital hyperinsulinism (HI) is the most common cause of persistent hypoglycemia in infancy. Genotype-phenotype correlations directly inform medical care for patients.

Non-coding cis-regulatory variants in HK1 cause congenital hyperinsulinism with variable disease severity [PDF]

Genome Medicine
Background We recently reported non-coding variants in a cis-regulatory element of the beta-cell disallowed gene hexokinase 1 (HK1) as a novel cause of congenital hyperinsulinism.

Variables associated with endogenous hyperinsulinism in hypoglycemia diagnosis. Could the 72-hour fasting test be shortened in low-risk patients? [PDF]

Journal of Clinical & Translational Endocrinology
Background: The 72-hour fasting test remains the standard for the diagnosis of endogenous hyperinsulinism. We investigated which variables could identify patients at low risk for endogenous hyperinsulinism, in whom a shortening of the 72-hour fasting ...

Using referral rates for genetic testing to determine the incidence of a rare disease: The minimal incidence of congenital hyperinsulinism in the UK is 1 in 28,389 [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2020
ongenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is a significant cause of hypoglycaemia in neonates and infants with the potential for permanent neurologic injury. Accurate calculations of the incidence of rare diseases such as CHI are important as they inform health ...

Genetics of neonatal hyperinsulinism [PDF]

Archives of Disease in Childhood - Fetal and Neonatal Edition, 2000
Congenital hyperinsulinism (HI) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous entity. The clinical heterogeneity is manifested by severity ranging from extremely severe, life threatening disease to very mild clinical symptoms, which may even be difficult to identify.
