AbstractObjectivesNeonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) is a rare form of monogenic diabetes that is usually diagnosed in the first six months of life.Case presentationWe report on a male infant with neonatal diabetes who presented with diabetic ketoacidosis at two months and 16 days. A novel homozygous missense mutation (c.259T>G) was identified in the ABCC8 gene. In this case, insulin was replaced with glimepiride at a dosage of 0.49 mg/kg/day at five months, and this achieved metabolic control and satisfactory growth as observed at follow-up.ConclusionsThis report improves our understanding of the mutational spectrum of ABCC8, which is normally associated with NDM, and shows that the treatment regimen for this condition can be successfully switched from insulin therapy to the use of sulfonylurea.

Background: Congenital Hyperinsulinism (CHI) constitutes a major cause of persistent and recurrent hypoglycemia, especially in the neonatal period, showing notable phenotypical heterogeneity among affected subjects. Activating mutations of the Glucokinase gene (GCK) are responsible for mild forms of hypoglycemia, due to CHI, usually easily medically managed. Case report: We present a patient at the age of 3.5 years old investigated for persistent hypoglycemia. Laboratory evaluation showed hyperinsulinism during the hypoglycemic episode with a required glucose infusion rate greater than 8-10 mg/kg/min to maintain normoglycemia. Targeted gene panel sequencing revealed an activating missense novel mutation p.Val71Ala in exon 3 of GCK gene, dominantly inherited by his mother. In silico, analysis of this novel missense variant assessed its pathogenicity as being of uncertain significance Conclusions: GCK gene mutations result in varying phenotypic characteristics and responsiveness to diazoxide depending on the type of activating mutation.

AbstractHyperinsulinism-hyperammonemia (HI/HA) syndrome, often characterized by recurrent symptomatic hypoglycemia and persistent hyperammonemia, is the second most frequent cause of the congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI). Here, we reported a patient with normal birth weight, repeated seizures, untreatable hypoglycemia, and persistent, mild hyperammonemia. The genetic diagnosis revealed that the patient carried a heterozygous, de novo missense mutation (N410I, c.1401A>T) in the glutamate dehydrogenase 1 gene (

ObjectiveCongenital hyperinsulinism is the most common cause of persistent hypoglycemia in infancy (HI), leading to severe neurologic disabilities if not promptly treated. The recent application of positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scanning with 18-fluoro-l-3,4 dihydroxyphenylalanine improved the ability to distinguish the two histopathologic forms of HI (focal and diffuse), whose differentiation heavily influences the therapeutic management of the patient.Case reportWe describe the case of a patient presenting with severe hypoglycemia from infancy. High concentration of insulin suggested the diagnosis of congenital hyperinsulinism. No metabolic disorders related to amino acid, organic acids or fatty acid oxidation were detected. Medical treatment was able to obtain a satisfactory metabolic response.ResultsThe patient underwent PET/CT scanning, revealing a diffuse form of the disease. The absence of mutations in KCNJ11 and ABCC8 genes (responsible for 50% of HI cases), and whole genome single nucleotide polymorphisms analysis by microarray suggested the HADH gene as a likely candidate. Sequence analysis revealed a novel homozygous nonsense mutation (R236X) in HADH gene.ConclusionsThis case indicates that mutations of the HADH gene should be sought in hyperinsulinemic patients in whom diffuse form of HI and autosomal recessive inheritance can be presumed when KCNJ11 and ABCC8 genes mutational screening is negative, even in the absence of altered organic acids and acylcarnitines concentration.
