To read the full abstract: J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2020 Apr 1;105(4). PMID: 32170320In congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) there is dysregulation of insulin secretion that leads to persistent hypoglycaemia. Mutations in the ABCC8/KCNJ11 genes which encode the pancreatic KATP channels proteins (SUR1/KIR6.2 respectively) are the most common causes of CHI. Mutations ...
