#1256 Characterization and Rescue of a Pathogenic D63N Mutant Human Glucagon Receptor That Causes a Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor Syndrome (Mahvash disease)

Introduction: We have previously demonstrated that inactivating glucagon receptor (GCGR) mutations cause a novel hereditary human disease of hyperglucagonemia, pancreatic α cell hyperplasia, and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (Mahvash disease). We recently identified a novel missense GCGR mutation, D63N, in a family with Mahvash disease.
