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.

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 ...

Hyperinsulinism in a Neonate [PDF]
A male patient was born small for gestational age (SGA) at 33 weeks with a birth weight of 1,663 grams (< 10th percentile) and length 43 cm (10th percentile) to a 38-year-old G5P4 mother by cesarean section due to non-reassuring fetal heart tones. Prior to delivery, his mother experienced decreased fetal movement and decelerations.

This clinical review will give doctors who work with children and neonates an introduction to the diagnosis and treatment of congenital hyperinsulinism, the most common cause of persistent neonatal hypoglycaemia. The condition is a rare monogenic disorder characterised by elevated insulin secretion and is a result of mutations in genes that regulate ...

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).

Birth weight and diazoxide unresponsiveness strongly predict the likelihood of congenital hyperinsulinism due to a mutation in ABCC8 or KCNJ11 [PDF]
Objective Mutations in the KATP channel genes, ABCC8 and KCNJ11, are the most common cause of congenital hyperinsulinism. The diagnosis of KATP-hyperinsulinism is important for the clinical management of the condition.

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.
