Comprehensive, easy-to-understand information about this condition
How we create this content →Documentation for autosomal recessive hyperinsulinism due to Kir6.2 deficiency is limited due to its rarity and the lack of systematic studies. With fewer patients affected, comprehensive clinical research has been challenging. Additionally, the genetic basis has not been fully characterized, which complicates understanding and managing the condition. Ongoing research may eventually provide more clarity and options for affected individuals.
The clinical features of this condition primarily involve metabolic disturbances due to excessive insulin. Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia is always present, leading to recurrent hypoglycemic episodes, which can cause neurological symptoms. Additionally, patients may exhibit abnormalities in the nervous system, with 80-99% experiencing these issues. Other notable features include increased C-peptide levels and abnormal glucagon responses. Some patients may also present with diffuse or focal pancreatic islet hyperplasia.
To navigate your care, consider consulting an endocrinologist with expertise in metabolic disorders, particularly those related to insulin regulation. Genetic counseling may also be beneficial, especially as more information about the genetic basis of this condition emerges. While there are currently no identified patient organizations, resources such as the Genetic and Rare Diseases Information Center (GARD) at rarediseases.info.nih.gov can provide further information and support. Engaging with a specialist familiar with rare metabolic disorders may help in managing symptoms effectively.
