Congenital hyperinsulinism due to mutations in HNF4A and HADH.
Review
Overview
abstract
Mutations in the HADH and HNF4A genes are rare causes of diazoxide responsive congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI). This chapter details the phenotype known to be associated with mutations in these genes. Additionally, the authors give a brief overview of the role of these genes in glucose physiology and the possible mechanisms of CHI in patients with mutations in these genes.
