Gestational diabetes mellitus in the mother and congenital hyperinsulinism in the proband, caused by an ABCC8 gene mutation
https://doi.org/10.14341/brh12780
Abstract
The most common cause of hypoglycemia in newborns is fetal hyperinsulinemia in response to maternal hyperglycemia, and the triggering mechanism for its development is placental separation during delivery, which abruptly stops glucose supply while insulin secretion remains elevated. Such hypoglycemia typically lasts up to three days. Persistent and severe hypoglycemia beyond this period raises suspicion of a genetic etiology and has been described in cases of mutations in the HNF4A, HNF1A, GCK, and ABCC8 genes.
