    AbstractNeonatal macrosomia and hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia with strong family history of diabetes may indicate monogenic diabetes. Here we report a family in which 4 individuals in 3 generations were found to have a mutation (Arg80Gln) in hepatocyte nuclear factor 4α. Genetic testing was a factor in choosing sulfonylurea therapy for diabetes.Copyright © 2011 Mosby, Inc. All rights reserved.
