Abstract:
Persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia in infants is one of the most common causes of persistent hypoglycemia in infants. The knowledge of molecular defects leading to persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia in infants has been rapidly growing in recent years. According to the responsible genes, this ailment can be divided into five types. However, no molecular defect can be yet found in as many as 50% of the patients.
