Hyperinsulinism/hyperammonemia (HI/HA) syndrome due to a mutation in the glutamate dehydrogenase gene

Abstract: SUMMARYThe hyperinsulinism/hyperammonemia (HI/HA) syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disea se manifested by hypoglycemic symptoms triggered by fasting or highprotein meals, and by elevated serum ammonia. HI/HA is the second most common cause of hyperinsulinemic hypo glycemia of infancy, and it is caused by activating mutations in GLUD1, the gene that encodes mitochondrial enzyme glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH). Biochemical evaluation, as well as direct sequencing of exons and exonintron boundary regions of th… Show more
