title: SHORT syndrome and insulin resistance.
abstract: We describe a further case of SHORT syndrome. This girl shows nearly all the typical manifestations reported in patients with SHORT syndrome. However, at 14 years she presented with non-ketotic hyperglycemia. At 16 1/2 years, the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus secondary to severe insulin resistance was made by intravenous insulin challenge. Insulin resistant diabetes mellitus seems to be a new finding in SHORT syndrome, not previously described in this condition.
