Case Report

First Report of Diabetes Phenotype due to a Loss-of-Function ABCC8 Mutation Previously Known to Cause Congenital Hyperinsulinism

Table 1

Main findings of key studies that reported the presence of mutations in the ABCC8 gene in people with diabetes. Remarkable heterogeneity in terms of both clinical presentation and treatment is evident.
