Of mice and men: not ExAKTly the same?

Abstract:

:The serine-threonine protein kinase Akt2, also known as PKBβ, has been shown to regulate glucose and lipid metabolism in animal models. In a recent study published in Science, Hussain et al. (2011) report that in human subjects an activating mutation of Akt2 leads to hypoglycemia and, unexpectedly, asymmetric overgrowth.
