Rare forms of congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) are caused by mutations in GLUD1 (encoding glutamate dehydrogenase), GCK (encoding glucokinase), HADH (encoding for L-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase), SLC16A1 (encoding the monocarboxylat transporter 1), HNF4A (encoding hepatocyte nuclear factor 4α) or UCP2 (encoding mitochondrial uncoupling protein 2). The clinical presentation is very heterogeneous...
Background: Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is the most frequent cause of recurrent episodes of hypoglycemia in infancy and results from different underlying genetic defects. The hyperinsulinism-hyperammonemia syndrome (HHS) has been shown to result from dominant germ line mutations within the glutamate dehydrogenase gene (GLUD1, OMIM *138130). Diagnosis of this entity is of clinical importance since...
