Background: Hyperinsulinism is characterised by inappropriate insulin secretion during hypoglycaemia. Mutations in the KATP channel genes, ABCC8 and KCNJ11, are the most common cause of persistent congenital hyperinsulinism. The diagnosis of KATP hyperinsulinism is key for the clinical management of the condition.Aim: We aimed to determine the clinical features that help to identify KATP hyperinsulinism...
