KCNQ1
KCNQ1 (KvLQT1, Kv7.1) is a human chromosome 11 gene encoding a voltage-gated potassium channel; with KCNE1 it forms cardiac IKs current, and mutations cause long QT, Jervell and Lange-Nielsen, and atrial fibrillation.
KCNQ1OT1
KCNQ1OT1 (Kcnq1 opposite strand/antisense transcript 1) is a ~60 kb paternally expressed antisense lncRNA on human chromosome 11p15.5 that silences imprinted genes in the Kcnq1 domain in cis and acts as an oncogenic miRNA sponge in cancers.
KCNQ2
KCNQ2 is a human gene on chromosome 20 encoding the Kv7.2 potassium channel, where pathogenic variants cause neonatal epilepsy ranging from mild to severe encephalopathy.
