16535 P97414 KCNQ1_MOUSE Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily KQT member 1 (IKs producing slow voltage-gated potassium channel subunit alpha KvLQT1) (KQT-like 1) (Voltage-gated potassium channel subunit Kv7.1) DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE Mice lacking Kcnq1 show an intestinal absorption impairment which is associated with reduced serum vitamin B12 concentrations, mild macrocytic anemia, and fecal loss of sodium and potassium ions (PubMed:16314573). Mice lacking Kcnq1 show microvillar secretory membranes intact, but basal acid secretion is absent and forskolin-stimulated acid output is reduced by approximately 90% in gastric mucosa (PubMed:19491250). Homozygous Kcnq1 mice develop normally and are viable, demonstrate hyperactivity, circling, and nodding behaviors; exhibit no electrocardiographic abnormalities but present a complete deafness, as well as circular movement and repetitive falling; show severe anatomic disruption of the cochlear and vestibular end organs; also display threefold enlargement by weight of the stomach resulting from mucous neck cell hyperplasia (PubMed:11120752). Mice neonates lacking Kcnq1 display significantly prolonged QT intervals during baseline ECG assessments which significantly increased following isoproterenol challenge; furthermore, the slow delayed rectifier potassium current (IKs) is absent (PubMed:15004216). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11120752, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15004216, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16314573, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19491250}.
