Neurodevelopmental disorders are frequent and diverse in children with hyperinsulinism/hyperammonaemia syndrome caused by a GLUD1 mutation, a study shows.
Children with islet autoantibodies are highly likely to progress to clinical diabetes within the next year if their glucose levels are hyperglycaemic for more than 10% of the time, show findings from the ASK study.
Faster diagnosis and use of individualised treatments for congenital hyperinsulinism has led to major improvements in neurological and endocrine outcomes over time, say Finnish researchers.
Researchers have identified probable type 1 diabetes in children of an age more commonly associated with diagnosis of monogenic diabetes, raising the possibility that polygenic disease processes can begin in utero.
Programme Director Professor Martin Savage is joined by experts to present and discuss the application of precision medicine in endocrine disorders, offering clinical expertise and insight, evidence and opinion on this topic.
