Description

Hyperinsulinism due to HNF4A deficiency is a form of diazoxide-sensitive diffuse hyperinsulinism (DHI), characterized by macrosomia, transient or persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (HH), responsiveness to diazoxide and a propensity to develop maturity-onset diabetes of the young subtype 1 (MODY-1; see this term).
