  • Thus, this somatic event which leads both to b cell proliferation and to hyperinsulinism can be considered as the somatic equivalent, restricted to a microscopic focal lesion, of constitutional uniparental disomy (UPD) associated with unmasking of a heterozygous parental mutation leading to a somatic recessive disorder.
