Deafness-associated genes KCNQ1 (also associated with heart diseases) and KCNQ4 (only
associated with hearing loss) encode the homotetrameric voltage-gated potassium ion …

The broad distribution of voltage-gated potassium channels (VGKCs) in the human body
makes them a critical component for the study of physiological and pathological function …

Objective KCNQ4 is one of the most common disease‐causing genes involved in autosomal
