Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily KQT member 1

The KCNQ1 gene encodes a potassium channel involved in cardiac conduction. Mutations cause autosomal dominant arrhythmias such as long-QT syndrome 1 and short-QT syndrome 2, Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome, and familial atrial fibrillation 3. Because of impriting clinical presentation varies depending the transmission from father or mother.
