Sumario: | Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is a clinically, genetically, and morphologically heterogeneous disorder. (18)F DOPA-PET CT scanning greatly improves its clinical outcome. Here, we presented the first Chinese (18)F DOPA-PET CT scanning–based CHI cohort highlighting the variable ethic clinical phenotypes and genotypes. Fifty CHI patients were recruited. Median age at presentation was 2 days. Median fasting time was 2 h. Mean insulin level was 25.6 μIU/ml. Fifty-two percent of patients were diazoxide-unresponsive with significantly shorter fasting tolerance time and higher serum insulin level compared with the responsive patients. Seventy-four percent of patients experienced at least one adverse drug reaction. Tremendously increased focal lesions (32%) were detected and 75% of them were cured through surgery. Thirty-one nucleotide sequence changes were identified in 48% patients. Four novel variants (Q608X, Q1347X, Q289X, F1489S) in ABCC8 gene and 2 novel variants (G132A, V138E) in KCNJ11 gene were detected. Of the variants, 87.1% harbored in ABCC and KCNJ11 genes. T1042Qfs*75 in ABCC8 gene was the most common mutation. Conclusion: Highly increased portion of focal lesion was presented in Chinese CHI patients compared with that of the previous reports. Intolerance to diazoxide was much more evident in Chinese or East Asian than other populations. Certain hotspot mutations harbored in Chinese CHI patients. |
