Added comment: Would be gain of function mutations.

The rationale for including this is that whilst mutations have not yet been detected, it is a candidate gene. KCNJ8 encodes Kir6.1 which is a component of the K(ATP) channel.

Templin et al (PMID: 21383000) included it in a SQTS panel as a candidate gene along with SUR2A (another component of the KATP channel.

A number of experimental studies have shown that K(ATP) channel activation gives a SQTS phenotype.
