“…Neonatal diabetes (ND), or diabetes developing within the first few weeks or months of life, is a very rare condition with an incidence of 1 in 400,000 to 500,000 live births (6). Recent studies have shown that ND can result from abnormalities of an imprinted region of chromosome 6q24 and mutations in the genes encoding the glycolytic enzyme, glucokinase, and the two protein subunits (Kir6.2 and SUR1) of the ATP-sensitive potassium channel of the pancreatic  cell (2,7). In addition, mutations in other genes (IPF1, PTF1A, FOXP3, GLIS3, TCF2, EIF2AK3) can lead to multisystem diseases that include ND (2).…”
