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

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.

Hyperinsulinism is the most common cause of hypoglycemia in infants. In many cases conservative treatment is not effective and surgical intervention is required. Differentiation between diffuse and focal forms and localization of focal lesions are the most important issues in preoperative management.

Recurrent Hypoglycemia in Two Late‐Preterm Infants With Transitional Disorder of Glucose Mobilization—Case Series [PDF]
Great emphasis is placed upon addressing hyperinsulinism in at‐risk infants with recurrent hypoglycemia. We report two preterm infants with recurrent nonhyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia due to transient impairment of glucose mobilization, warranting ...

Clinical Report and Genetic Analysis of a Patient With Congenital Hyperinsulinism Hyperammonemia Caused by a Novel Missense Mutation in the Structural Domain of the Isoform of the GLUD1 Gene. [PDF]
This patient was admitted to the hospital 43 h after birth with convulsions and hypoglycemia, presenting as recurrent refractory hypoglycemia that was difficult to control with conventional medication. Whole exome sequencing detected the GLUD1 (NM_005271.3:c.1495G>T, p.Gly499Cys) variant, which was a de novo variant in the patient and was not detected ...

Transient congenital hyperinsulinism and hemolytic disease of a newborn despite rhesus D prophylaxis: a case report [PDF]
Background In neonates, rhesus D alloimmunization despite anti-D immunoglobulin prophylaxis is rare and often unexplained. Rhesus D alloimmunization can lead to hemolytic disease of the newborn with anemia and unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia.

Hyperinsulinism May Be Underreported in Hypoglycemic Patients with Phosphomannomutase 2 Deficiency
INTRODUCTION: Phosphomannomutase 2 deficiency (PMM2-CDG) is a disorder of protein N-glycosylation with a wide clinical spectrum. Hypoglycemia is rarely reported in PMM2-CDG.

Mutations in UCP2 in congenital hyperinsulinism reveal a role for regulation of insulin secretion. [PDF]
Although the most common mechanism underlying congenital hyperinsulinism is dysfunction of the pancreatic ATP-sensitive potassium channel, the pathogenesis and genetic origins of this disease remains largely unexplained in more than half of all patients.
