Neonatal diabetes caused by a homozygous KCNJ11 mutation demonstrates that tiny changes in ATP sensitivity markedly affect diabetes risk

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: The pancreatic ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channel plays a pivotal role in linking beta cell metabolism to insulin secretion. Mutations in K(ATP) channel genes can result in hypo- or hypersecretion of insulin, as in neonatal diabetes mellitus and congenital hyperinsulinism, res...
