A novel cancer syndrome caused by KCNQ1-deficiency in the golden Syrian hamster.

CONCLUSIONS: None of the hamsters in our colony that were wild-type or heterozygous for KCNQ1 mutations developed cancers indicating that the cancer phenotype is linked to KCNQ1-deficiency. This study is also the first evidence linking KCNQ1-deficiency to blood cancers. PMID: 30450013 [PubMed]
