- ItemPermanent Neonatal Diabetes and Enteric Anendocrinosis Associated With Biallelic Mutations in NEUROG3(AMER DIABETES ASSOC, 2011) Rubio Cabezas, Oscar; Jensen, Jan N.; Hodgson, Maria I.; Codner, Ethel; Ellard, Sian; Serup, Palle; Hattersley, Andrew T.OBJECTIVE-NEUROG3 plays a central role in the development of both pancreatic islets and enteroendocrine cells. Homozygous hypomorphic missense mutations in NEUROG3 have been recently associated with a rare form of congenital malabsolptive diarrhea secondary to enteroendocrine cell dysgenesis. Interestingly, the patients did not develop neonatal diabetes but childhood-onset diabetes. We hypothesized that null mutations in NEUROG3 might be responsible for the disease in a patient with permanent neonatal diabetes and severe congenital malabsorptive diarrhea.
