Background: Congenital hyperinsulinism (HI) is a group of insulin secretion disorders with highly heterogeneous genetic aetiologies, which may significantly impact on treatment and follow-up. Genetic diagnosis is unsolved in up to 50% of the individuals, but the benefits of retesting including all the recent genetic discoveries has not been previously assessed.Aim: We examined the effectiveness of rescreening the known H...
