current.•Mutated I KS can lead to long or short QT, bradycardia and atrial fibrillation.•Gain-or
loss-of-function mutations are associated with pleiotropic clinical phenotypes.•Mutations
impair voltage-sensing function and modulation by PIP 2, CaM and PKA.Co-assembly of
KCNQ1 with KCNE1 generates the I KS potassium current that is vital for the proper
repolarization of the cardiac action potential. Mutations in either KCNQ1 or KCNE1 genes …
