Background: Mutations in genes involved in insulin secretion or regulation of β cell identity cause both persistent neonatal diabetes (PND) and hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy (HHI) pinpointing shared pathogenic mechanisms. KCNQ1 encodes a potassium channel protein, Kv7.1, which is a voltage-gated potassium channel expressed in cardiac tissue, pancreas, inner ear neurons, and other tissues. Variants in or nearby to KCNQ1 were linked t...
