Molecular simulation of the Kv7.4[ΔS269] mutant channel reveals that ion conduction in the cavity is perturbed due to hydrophobic gating

Mutations in the voltage-gated potassium channel Kv7.4 (encoded as KCNQ4) lead to the early onset of non-syndromic hearing loss, which is significant during language acquisition. The deletion of the S269 pore residue (genetic Δ mutation) in Kv7.4 has been reported to be associated with hearing loss....
