Unique features of seizure-induced cardiorespiratory failure in SS<sup>Kcnj16-/-</sup> rats: Implications for sudden unexpected death in epilepsy. [PDF]
Patients with uncontrolled epilepsy are at high risk for sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), which likely results from a pathological, seizure‐induced disruption of vital physiological systems.

Kcnj16 knockout produces audiogenic seizures in the Dahl salt-sensitive rat [PDF]
Kir5.1 is an inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) channel subunit abundantly expressed in the kidney and brain. We previously established the physiologic consequences of a Kcnj16 (gene encoding Kir5.1) knockout in the Dahl salt-sensitive rat (SSKcnj16–/–),

Kcnj16 (Kir5.1) gene ablation causes subfertility and increases the prevalence of morphologically abnormal spermatozoa [PDF]
The ability of spermatozoa to swim towards an oocyte and fertilize it depends on precise K+ permeability changes. Kir5.1 is an inwardly-rectifying potassium (Kir) channel with high sensitivity to intracellular H+ (pHi) and extracellular K+ concentration [

Role of K<sub>ir</sub>5.1 (Kcnj16) Channels in Regulating Renal Ammonia Metabolism during Metabolic Acidosis in Dahl Salt-Sensitive Rats. [PDF]
Maintaining acid-base homeostasis is critical for normal physiological function. The kidneys are essential for regulating acid-base homeostasis through maintaining systemic bicarbonate concentration. Chronic metabolic acidosis is an independent risk factor for chronic kidney diseases.

Biallelic loss-of-function variants in KCNJ16 presenting with hypokalemic metabolic acidosis [PDF]
KCNJ16 encodes Kir5.1 and acts in combination with Kir4.1, encoded by KCNJ10, to form an inwardly rectifying K+ channel expressed at the basolateral membrane of epithelial cells in the distal nephron.

Defects in KCNJ16 Cause a Novel Tubulopathy with Hypokalemia, Salt Wasting, Disturbed Acid-Base Homeostasis, and Sensorineural Deafness [PDF]
Visual Abstract Significance Statement A novel disease phenotype comprises a tubulopathy with severe hypokalemia, renal salt wasting, disturbed acid-base homeostasis, and sensorineural deafness associated with variants in KCNJ16 (Kir5.1).

EAST/SeSAME Syndrome and Beyond: The Spectrum of Kir4.1- and Kir5.1-Associated Channelopathies [PDF]
In 2009, two groups independently linked human mutations in the inwardly rectifying K+ channel Kir4.1 (gene name KCNJ10) to a syndrome affecting the central nervous system (CNS), hearing, and renal tubular salt reabsorption.

The Ion Channel-Related Gene Signatures Correlated With Diagnosis, Prognosis, and Individualized Treatment in Patients With Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma [PDF]
Background: Early detection and precise prognostic evaluation of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) are crucial for patient life expectancy. Ion channel-related genes (ICRGs) are of great diagnostic and prognostic value as components that maintain ...
