Heterozygous activating mutations in the KCNJ11 gene , which encodes the Kir 6.2 subunit of the Katp channel , have been found to cause diabetes in the neonatal period or early infancy . This molecular study hypothesized that KCNJ11 mutations could present clinically as type 1 diabetes UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
