Prevalence of Permanent Neonatal Diabetes in Slovakia and Successful Replacement of Insulin with Sulfonylurea Therapy in KCNJ11 and ABCC8 Mutation Carriers

Abstract

PNDM frequency in Slovakia is much higher (one in 215,417 live births) than previously suggested from international estimates (about one in 800,000). We identified one ABCC8 and four KCNJ11 mutation carriers, of whom four were successfully transferred to SU, dramatically improving their diabetes control and quality of life.
