The insulin receptor is a ligand-activated tyrosine kinase. Mutations in the corresponding gene cause the rare inherited insulin-resistant disorders leprechaunism and Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome. Patients with the most severe syndrome, leprechaunism, have growth restriction, altered glucose homeostasis and early death (usually before 1 year of age). Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome is less severe, with survival up to 5-15 years of age. These disorders are transmitted as autosomal recessive traits. Here we report six new patients and correlate mutations in the insulin receptor gene with survival. Patients with leprechaunism were homozygous or compound heterozygous for mutations in the extracellular domain of the insulin receptor and their cells had markedly impaired insulin binding (
