Integration of genomic analysis and transcript expression of ABCC8 and KCNJ11 in focal form of congenital hyperinsulinism
BackgroundThe focal form of CHI is caused by an autosomal recessive pathogenic variant affecting the paternal homologue of genes Thumb ABCC8 or KCNJ11 and a second somatic event specifically occurring in the affected islet of Langerhans.The approach of this study was to integrate the genetic changes occurring in pancreatic focal lesions of CHI at t
