Novel Compound Heterozygous Variants of the <i>ABCC8</i> Gene Warrant Identification of Pancreatic Histology in Infant with Diazoxide-unresponsive Congenital Hyperinsulinism

Novel Compound Heterozygous Variants of the <i>ABCC8</i> Gene Warrant Identification of Pancreatic Histology in Infant with Diazoxide-unresponsive Congenital Hyperinsulinism

Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is characterized by dysregulated insulin secretion, resulting in severe hypoglycemia. Mutations in the <i>ABCC8</i> and <i>KCNJ11</i> genes encoding KATP channels in beta cells of the pancreas are common among patients with CHI. Autosomal rece...
