Background and aims: Neonatal diabetes diagnosed before 6 months is caused by mutations that reduce. β cell number (reduced formation or increased destruction) or impair β cell function. We investigated the genetic cause of a syndrome characterised by neonatal diabetes, microcephaly and epilepsy.Materials and methods: We performed whole genome sequencing for two unrelated patients with neonatal diabetes, epilepsy and microcephaly.
