Activating missense mutations in the gene encoding potassium inwardly rectifying channel, subfamily J, member 11 (KCNJ11) represent the most common cause (40 to 64%, depending on populations) of permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus in patients diagnosed in the first 6 months of life [1, 2]. In addition, KCNJ11 activating mutations can lead to transient/relapsing neonatal diabetes.

Abstract
Activating missense mutations in the gene encoding potassium inwardly rectifying channel, subfamily J, member 11 (KCNJ11) represent the most common cause (40 to 64%, depending on populations) of permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus in patients diagnosed in the first 6 months of life [1, 2]. In addition, KCNJ11 activating mutations can lead to transient/relapsing neonatal diabetes.File in questo prodotto:
