Clinical Management and Gene Mutation Analysis of Children with Congenital Hyperinsulinism in South China

Conclusion: : To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study of CHI in south China. Mutations in ABCC8 are the most common causes of CHI in this cohort. Diazoxide and dietary treatment were effective in most patients. Multicentre studies are necessary to obtain the long-term follow-up characteristics of such patients at the national level.
