Genomic insights into TASK-1 reveal functional roles in sleep apnea

Nature Genetics volume 54, pages 1451–1452 (2022)Cite this article

Subjects

KCNK3 mutations identified in sleep apnea probands affect TASK-1 X-gate function. These changes lead to an increase in potassium current and open probability, as well as impaired sensitivity to G-protein-coupled receptor inhibitors.
