Preferred Label : Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, familial, 1;
Symbol : HHF1;
CISMeF acronym : HHF1; PHHI;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : Nesidioblastosis of pancreas; Hypoglycemia, hyperinsulinemic, of infancy; Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia due to focal adenomatous hyperplasia; Hyperinsulinism, familial, with pancreatic nesidioblastosis; Persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy; PHHI; Hyperinsulinism, congenital;
Description : Familial hyperinsulinism, also referred to as congenital hyperinsulinism, nesidioblastosis,
or persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy (PPHI), is the most common
cause of persistent hypoglycemia in infancy and is due to defective negative feedback
regulation of insulin secretion by low glucose levels. Unless early and aggressive
intervention is undertaken, brain damage from recurrent episodes of hypoglycemia may
occur (Thornton et al., 1998). - Genetic Heterogeneity of Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycemia
HHF2 (601820) is caused by mutation in the KCNJ11 gene (600937), on chromosome 11p15.1.
HHF3 (602485) is caused by mutation in the glucokinase gene (GCK; 138079) on chromosome
7p15-p13. HHF4 (609975) is caused by mutation in the HADH gene (601609) on chromosome
4q22-q26. HHF5 (609968) is caused by mutation in the insulin receptor gene (INSR;
147670) on chromosome 19p13.2. HHF6 (606762) is caused by mutation in the GLUD1 gene
(138130) on chromosome 10q23.3. HHF7 (610021) is caused by mutation in the SLC16A1
(600682) on chromosome 1p13.2-p12. There is evidence of further genetic heterogeneity
of HHF.;
