Article Synopsis
- * The study involved analyzing genetic data from over 7,400 people with DCM or LVNC and found that this variant is significantly more common in these patients compared to larger control groups, indicating a strong association.
- * Among individuals carrying this variant, nearly 72% exhibited DCM or LVNC, with a notable portion also having congenital heart defects; however, the overall disease progression was mild, with few experiencing severe complications over an extended follow-up period.
Introduction: Congenital hyperinsulinism (CH) is a severe disorder characterised by the appearance of severe hypoglycaemia. Pathogenic mutations in the ABCC8 and KCNJ11 genes are the most frequent cause, although its appearance also been associated to mutations in other genes (GCK, GLUD1, HADH, HNF1A, HNF4A, SLC16A1, UCP2, HK1), and with different syndromes.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective review of patients diagnosed with CH in this unit during the last 18 years (2001-2018).
Background: the prevalence of overweight and obesity showed and increasing trend over the past few years. The burden of this epidemic represents a public health issue worldwide. Spain, and especially the Canary Islands, are not exempt.

A case-control study was conducted among 282 (162 boys; 120 girls) children under five years of age from the central region of Mozambique between 1 May and 3 June 2014. Children with stunting (HAZ < -2 SD according to the WHO Child Growth Standards in 2006) were considered as cases and those who had a -score < -2 SD were considered as controls.
