Neonatal diabetes mellitus is a rare condition.
A small for gestational age male, presented with neonatal onset diabetes mellitus, duodenal atresia, annular pancreas and gall bladder hypoplasia.
Observation: A novel homozygous mutation p.K163R (c.488A>G) in the PDX1 gene was found. Parents were heterozygous for the same.
This case highlights the importance of establishing the genetic diagnosis in all cases of neonatal diabetes mellitus.
新生儿糖尿病是一种罕见病症。
一名小于胎龄男婴,患有新生儿期发病的糖尿病、十二指肠闭锁、环状胰腺和胆囊发育不全。
发现PDX1基因中有一个新的纯合突变p.K163R(c.488A>G)。父母为该突变的杂合子。
该病例凸显了对所有新生儿糖尿病病例进行基因诊断的重要性。
