Prenatal Diagnosis and Postnatal Management of Diffuse Congenital Hyperinsulinism: A Case Report

Abstract: We present the first case of the prenatal diagnosis of congenital hyperinsulinism based on the genetic analysis of known family mutations in the SUR1 gene. An amniocentesis was performed at 16 weeks gestation at which time two mutations in the SUR1 gene were identified consistent with the diagnosis of diffuse hyperinsulinism. The mother was transported to our facility and underwent an elective cesarian section at 38 weeks gestation. The diagnosis was confirmed and treatment was initiated within the first minut… Show more

“…This was particularly the case in a patient with compound heterozygous R74W/R1215Q mutations who had a greater than normal insulin response to tolbutamide. Overall, the in vitro functional analysis provides valuable information by allowing prediction of phenotype based on genotype to facilitate disease diagnosis and management (40). Therapeutic implications.…”

“…Patients with known or suspected genetic defect of the SUR and Kir 6.2 subunits may not fully respond to diazoxide therapy. 35 These alterations have been demonstrated in families with hyperinsulinism who respond poorly to diazoxide therapy. 36 Diazoxide has historically been a first line agent, however patients experiencing hypoglycemia during the neonatal period are less responsive than those presenting in infancy.…”

“…In order to take the correct surgical approach a new technique, involving 18 Fluoro-L-Dopa position emission tomography (PET) scanning, has been developed to distinguish between focal and diffuse forms of CHI [54][55][56]. Prenatal diagnosis of CHI is now also available for KCNJ11 and ABCC8 mutations, which allows for immediate medical management of CHI at the time of birth [57]. This is also extremely useful for parents who have already had one affected child.…”
