“…ABCC8 is considered to be more highly expressed in the human brain than ABCC9 (Shi, et al, 2005), and ABCC8 /SUR1 has been implicated in neuropathologic processes (Jiang, et al, 2007,Mehta, et al, 2013,Simard, et al, 2008a,Simard, et al, 2008b,Simard, et al, 2012,Tosun, et al, 2013). Mutations in ABCC8 are associated with congenital hyperinsulinism and diabetes (Bonfanti, et al, 2015,Bryan, et al, 2007,Efferth, 2003,Haghverdizadeh, et al, 2014,Remedi and Nichols, 2009,Smith, et al, 2007). In the latter case, more severe mutations are associated with a complex syndrome (Developmental delay, Epilepsy and Neonatal diabetes, DEND), in which CNS excitability is aberrant, as a result of hyperactivity of the SUR1-regulated K ATP channel activity.…”
