Impaired Processing of Prohormones Associated with Abnormalities of Glucose Homeostasis and Adrenal Function
Open accessAbstract
Insulin, the central hormone controlling the utilization of fuel, is initially synthesized in pancreatic beta cells as its relatively inactive precursor, proinsulin. A series of enzymes that process prohormones act on proinsulin to produce mature insulin and C peptide. Abnormalities in the secretory products of beta cells are a rare but well-documented cause of impairment in glucose tolerance and hyperinsulinemia.1 Two specific syndromes have been defined. First, mutations in the insulin gene that lead to the production of biologically ineffective insulin have been described in several families.2–4 All cases described to date have involved heterozygotes who produce normal insulin . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
