Modes of inheritance:	Autosomal dominant inheritance MedGen UID: 141047 •Concept ID: C0443147 • Intellectual Product Source: Orphanet A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in heterozygotes. In the context of medical genetics, an autosomal dominant disorder is caused when a single copy of the mutant allele is present. Males and females are affected equally, and can both transmit the disorder with a risk of 50% for each child of inheriting the mutant allele. Autosomal dominant inheritance (Orphanet)

Definition

A form of diazoxide-sensitive diffuse hyperinsulinism characterized by hypoglycemic episodes that are usually mild, escaping detection during infancy, and usually a good clinical response to diazoxide, (but some are diazoxide resistant). Usually has a milder phenotype when compared to that resulting from recessive K+ channel mutations. [from SNOMEDCT_US]
