-
A rare congenital isolated hyperinsulinism disorder with characteristics of diazoxide unresponsive recurrent episodes of hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia resulting from an excessive insulin secretion by the pancreatic beta-cells due to SUR1 deficiency. Hypoglycaemia may lead to variable clinical manifestations, ranging from asymptomatic hypoglycaemia revealed by routine blood glucose monitoring to macrosomia at birth, mild to moderate hepatomegaly and life-threatening hypoglycaemic coma or status epilepticus, further leading to poor neurological outcome. Caused by homozygous, compound heterozygous, or heterozygous mutation in the ABCC8 gene on chromosome 11p15.
