Introduction: We have reported a syndrome of hypoketotic hypoglycaemia due to the de novo p.Glu17Lys mutation in AKT2, a serine threonine kinase central to insulin signalling. We aimed to evaluate further the physiological and cellular consequences of the p.Glu17Lys mutation.Results: Two previously reported 17-year-old men heterozygous for the AKT2 p.Glu17Lys mutation, each of whom had experienced severe fasting hypoglycaemia in early life, were...
