Patients With Long-QT Syndrome Caused by Impaired hERG-Encoded K(v)11.1 Potassium Channel Have Exaggerated Endocrine Pancreatic and Incretin Function Associated With Reactive Hypoglycemia

BACKGROUND: Loss-of-function mutations in hERG (encoding the K(v)11.1 voltage-gated potassium channel) cause long-QT syndrome type 2 (LQT2) because of prolonged cardiac repolarization. However, K(v)11.1 is also present in pancreatic α and β cells and intestinal L and K cells, secreting glucagon, ins...
