KCNQ1 encodes a voltage-gated K+ channel located in both cardiomyocytes and pancreatic \u03b2-cells. Inhibition of KCNQ1 in \u03b2-cells increases insulin secretion. Therefore KCNQ1 LQTS patients may exhibit increased insulin secretion. Fourteen patients, from six families, diagnosed with KCNQ1 LQTS were individually matched to two randomly chosen BMI-, age-, and sex-matched control participants and underwent an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), a hypoglycemia questionnaire, and continuous glucose monitoring. KCNQ1 mutation carriers showed increased insulin release (area under the curve 45.6 \u00b1 6.3 vs. 26.0 \u00b1 2.8 min \u22c5 nmol\/L insulin) and \u03b2-cell glucose sensitivity and had lower levels of plasma glucose and serum potassium upon oral glucose stimulation and increased hypoglycemic symptoms. Prolonged OGTT in four available patients and matched control subjects revealed hypoglycemia in carriers after 210 min (range 1.4\u20133.6 vs. 4.1\u20135.3 mmol\/L glucose), and 24-h glucose profiles showed that the patients spent 77 \u00b1 18 min per 24 h in hypoglycemic states (&amp;lt;3.9 mmol\/L glucose) with 36 \u00b1 10 min (&amp;lt;2.8 mmol\/L glucose) vs. 0 min (&amp;lt;3.9 mmol\/L glucose) for the control participants. The phenotype of patients with KCNQ1 LQTS, caused by mutations in KCNQ1, includes, besides long QT, hyperinsulinemia, clinically relevant symptomatic reactive hypoglycemia, and low potassium after an oral glucose challenge, suggesting that KCNQ1 mutations may explain some cases of \u201cessential\u201d reactive hypoglycemia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2337\/db13-1454","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,12,20]],"date-time":"2013-12-20T01:14:16Z","timestamp":1387502056000},"page":"1315-1325","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2337\/ada-journal-policies","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":72,"title":["KCNQ1
