Increased 125I-insulin receptor binding to erythrocytes of hypoglycemic infants and children.

The measurement of 125I-insulin specific binding to erythrocytes obtained from seven infants and children with various hypoglycemic syndromes showed a significant increase in six patients with recurrent, documented, symptomatic hypoglycemia (percent specific 125I-insulin binding 9 to 14 versus 6.1 +/- 1.4% mean +/- 2 S.
