HYPERINSULINISM DUE TO UCP2 DEFICIENCY

Alternate names

HYPERINSULINISM DUE TO UCP2 DEFICIENCY Is also known as hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia due to ucp2 deficiency

Description

HyHyperinsulism due to UCP2 deficiency (HIUCP2) is a form of diazoxide-sensitive diffuse hyperinsulinism (DHI, see this term) characterized by hypoglycemic episodes from the neonatal period, a good clinical response to diazoxide and a probable transient nature of the disease with spontaneous resolution.

Most common symptoms of HYPERINSULINISM DUE TO UCP2 DEFICIENCY

  • Seizures
  • Global developmental delay
  • Cognitive impairment
  • Hepatomegaly
  • Vomiting
