Congenital hyperinsulinism: current status and future perspectives
The diagnosis and treatment of congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) have made a remarkable progress over the past 20 years and, currently, it is relatively rare to see patients who are left with severe psychomotor delay. The improvement was made possible by the recent developments in the understanding of the molecular and pathological basis of CHI. Known etiologies include inactivating mutations of...

In the last five years, our knowledge about the heterogenous syndrome of congenital hyperinsulinism (HI) has expanded explosively. HI may be familiar or sporadic, mild or severe, transitory or persistent, and histologically focal or diffuse. At least 63 disease-causing mutations have been found in the genes for the beta cell's ATP-dependent potassium channel, whose elements are the sulphonylure...
متن کاملA Case Series: Congenital Hyperinsulinism
INTRODUCTION Congenital hyperinsulinism is a rare inherited disease caused by mutations in genes responsible for β-cell's function in glucose hemostasis leading to profound and recurrent hypoglycemia. The incidence of the disease is about 1 in 50000 newborns. Mutations in at least 8 genes have been reported to cause congenital hyperinsulinism. Mutations in ABCC8 gene are the most common cause o...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of congenital hyperinsulinism.
Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is a complex heterogeneous condition in which insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells is unregulated and inappropriate for the level of blood glucose. The inappropriate insulin secretion drives glucose into the insulin-sensitive tissues, such as the muscle, liver and adipose tissue, leading to severe hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia (HH). At a molecular level, ...
متن کاملCongenital Hyperinsulinism: Diagnosis and Treatment Update
Pancreatic β-cells are finely tuned to secrete insulin so that plasma glucose levels are maintained within a narrow physiological range (3.5-5.5 mmol/L). Hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia (HH) is the inappropriate secretion of insulin in the presence of low plasma glucose levels and leads to severe and persistent hypoglycaemia in neonates and children. Mutations in 12 different key genes (ABCC8, ...
