New Insight in Hyperinsulinism/Hyperammonemia Syndrome by Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy

Abstract: Hyperinsulinism/hyperammonemia syndrome (HI/HA) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by monoallelic activating mutations in the glutamate dehydrogenase 1 (GLUD1) gene. While hyperinsulinism may be explained by a reduction in the allosteric inhibition of GLUD1, the pathogenesis of HA in HI/HA remains uncertain; interestingly, HA in the HI/HA syndrome is not associated with acute hyperammonemic intoxication events. We obtained a brain magnetic resonance (MR) in a woman with HI/HA syndrome with chronic asympt… Show more

“…These concepts can be visualized by Fig. 4 [ [36] , [37] , [38] ]. Even though glutamine formation from alpha-ketoglutarate helps detoxify ammonia, elevated glutamine has also been shown to have neurotoxic effects and should therefore be appropriately monitored and controlled [ [36] , [37] , [38] , [39] ].…”

Also, once the patient has any illness, the balance could be immediately disrupted and result in hyperammonemia.…”
