BS: Blood sugar (mg/dl); INS: insulin (IU/ml); D: day; M: Month; Y: year; Pat: paternal; Comp-Het: Compound heterozygote. # The patient previously reported from our center. ^ The mother and father are heterozygote for the variant. The mother did not have any variant in the three genes and the father was asymptomatic and carrying the variant. ∼ The patients are first cousins. ∼∼ The family had child with similar clinical manifestations but without genetic workups.
