We studied insulin binding to cells from an insulin-resistant patient, a 5-year-old boy with clinical Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome. Decreased insulin binding was observed in three different cells: erythrocytes (37.4% of normal), cultured fibroblasts (53.3% of normal), and transformed lymphocytes (9.8% of normal). Decreased insulin binding in the cultured cells suggested that the patient had a primary defect in insulin receptors. In addition, insulin binding to the transformed lymphocytes from the patient was relatively high at lower pH compared with those in normal subjects. The cultured fibroblasts from the patient showed decreased glucose incorporation at the low insulin concentration with normal maximal stimulation, and the insulin dose response curve was shifted to the right. These results suggested that the defect resided in the receptor binding but not in the postreceptor steps. This was one of the rare cases showing decreased insulin binding clearly demonstrated in three different cells from a young male patient with extreme insulin resistance.
