Persistent hyperinsulinemia hypoglycemia of infancy

Persistent hyperinsulinemia hypoglycemia of infancy

A form of nontransient hypoglycemia, unique to infancy, due to autosomal recessive mutations of the sulfonylurea receptor gene on chromosome 11. Defects in the sulfonylurea receptors (ATP-binding cassette transporters) on the pancreatic beta cells prevent negative feedback of glucose-regulated insulin release thus resulting in hyperinsulinemia. Clinical phenotype includes seizures; coma; and often large birth weight for gestational age.
