[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/INSR_HUMAN INSR_HUMAN]] Defects in INSR are the cause of Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome (RMS) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/262190 262190]]; also known as Mendenhall syndrome. RMS is a severe insulin resistance syndrome characterized by insulin-resistant diabetes mellitus with pineal hyperplasia and somatic abnormalities. Typical features include coarse, senile-appearing facies, dental and skin abnormalities, abdominal distension, and phallic enlargement. Inheritance is autosomal recessive.<ref>PMID:2121734</ref> <ref>PMID:2365819</ref> <ref>PMID:8314008</ref> <ref>PMID:10443650</ref> <ref>PMID:12023989</ref> <ref>PMID:17201797</ref>  Defects in INSR are the cause of leprechaunism (LEPRCH) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/246200 246200]]; also known as Donohue syndrome. Leprechaunism represents the most severe form of insulin resistance syndrome, characterized by intrauterine and postnatal growth retardation and death in early infancy. Inheritance is autosomal recessive.<ref>PMID:2365819</ref> <ref>PMID:12023989</ref> <ref>PMID:2834824</ref> <ref>PMID:2479553</ref> <ref>PMID:1607067</ref> <ref>PMID:1730625</ref> <ref>PMID:8326490</ref> <ref>PMID:8419945</ref> <ref>PMID:8188715</ref> <ref>PMID:7815442</ref> <ref>PMID:7538143</ref> <ref>PMID:8636294</ref> <ref>PMID:9299395</ref> <ref>PMID:9249867</ref> <ref>PMID:9703342</ref> <ref>PMID:12538626</ref> <ref>PMID:12970295</ref>  Defects in INSR may be associated with noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/125853 125853]]; also known as diabetes mellitus type 2.<ref>PMID:1607076</ref> <ref>PMID:1470163</ref> <ref>PMID:7657032</ref>  Defects in INSR are the cause of familial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia type 5 (HHF5) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/609968 609968]]. Familial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/256450 256450]], also referred to as congenital hyperinsulinism, nesidioblastosis, or persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy (PPHI), is the most common cause of persistent hypoglycemia in infancy and is due to defective negative feedback regulation of insulin secretion by low glucose levels.<ref>PMID:15161766</ref>  Defects in INSR are the cause of insulin-resistant diabetes mellitus with acanthosis nigricans type A (IRAN type A) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/610549 610549]]. This syndrome is characterized by the association of severe insulin resistance (manifested by marked hyperinsulinemia and a failure to respond to exogenous insulin) with the skin lesion acanthosis nigricans and ovarian hyperandrogenism in adolescent female subjects. Women frequently present with hirsutism, acne, amenorrhea or oligomenorrhea, and virilization. This syndrome is different from the type B that has been demonstrated to be secondary to the presence of circulating autoantibodies against the insulin receptor.
