General Information of Disease (ID: DIS6RAZV)

Disease Name GCGR-related hyperglucagonemia
Synonyms
alpha-cell hyperplasia with glucagonemia; nesidioblastosis alpha cell hyperplasia microglucagonoma and nonfunctioning islet cell tumor; nesidioblastosis, alpha cell hyperplasia, microglucagonoma, and nonfunctioning islet cell tumor; nesidioblastosis, alpha cell hyperplasia, microglucagonoma, and nonfunctioning islet cell tumour; MVAH; nesidioblastosis alpha cell hyperplasia microglucagonoma and nonfunctioning islet cell tumour; Mahvash disease
Definition
A rare tumor of pancreas caused by mutations in the GCGR gene characterized by pancreatic alpha cell hyperplasia, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and markedly increased serum glucagon levels in the absence of a glucagonoma syndrome. Clinical manifestations may include abdominal pain, pancreatitis, fatigue, diarrhea, and diabetes mellitus.
