Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome is a rare [[autosomal recessive]] condition that leads to [[Sensorineural hearing loss|sensorineural deafness]], abnormal [[ventricular]] [[myocardial]] [[repolarization]] which results in [[long QT syndrome]] ([[Long QT syndrome|LQTS]]) and other [[cardiac]] events. Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome is due to '''''[[KCNQ1]]''''' or '''''[[KCNE1]]''''' [[Gene mutation|gene mutations]]. The range of [[symptoms]] and severity of [[symptoms]] in Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome differs from [[patient]] to [[patient]]. In The United States of America in order to categorise a [[condition]] as a [[rare disease]] it should affect fewer than 200,000 people. [[Rare diseases]] also called as [[Orphan disease|orphan diseases]]. [[Orphan Drug Act]] was passed on 1983 by congress for the [[rare diseases]]. Today an average of 25-30 million americans have been reported with [[rare diseases]]. The number of people with individual [[rare disease]] may be less but overall the number of people with [[rare diseases]] are large in number. | |||

== Pathophysiology == | |||
=== Physiology === | |||
The normal [[physiology]] of ''[[KCNQ1]]'' and ''[[KCNE1]]'' [[genes]] can be understood as follows:<ref name="pmid20301579">{{cite journal| author=Adam MP, Ardinger HH, Pagon RA, Wallace SE, Bean LJH, Stephens K et al.| title=GeneReviews® | journal= | year= 1993 | volume= | issue= | pages= | pmid=20301579 | doi= | pmc= | url= }}</ref> | |||
* Both ''[[KCNQ1]]'' and ''[[KCNE1]]'' [[genes]] encodes for the slow [[potassium]] channel currents of the [[cochlea]] and the [[heart]]. | |||
*Normally the slow [[potassium]] channel currents were stimulated by the [[sound]], when stimulated the [[potassium]] from the [[Scala media|scala]] media passes the [[action potential]] through the [[apex]] of the [[hair]] [[Cell (biology)|cells]]. | |||
*The [[potassium]] [[action potential]] then [[Depolarization|depolarises]] the [[hair]] cells. | |||
*Once [[Depolarization|depolarised]] there is a release [[calcium]]-channel-induced release of [[neurotransmitter]]. | |||
*The [[neurotransmitter]] then passes along with the [[auditory nerve]] and then [[Depolarization|depolarizes]] and the currents are sent centrally where they are received as [[sound]]. | |||
=== Pathogenesis === | |||
* It is understood that Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) is the result of [[mutations]] in the [[gene]] ''[[KCNQ1]]'' and ''[[KCNE1]].''<ref name="pmid107041883">{{cite journal| author=Tranebjaerg L, Bathen J, Tyson J, Bitner-Glindzicz M| title=Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome: a Norwegian perspective. | journal=Am J Med Genet | year= 1999 | volume= 89 | issue= 3 | pages= 137-46 | pmid=10704188 | doi= | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=10704188 }}</ref> | |||

Overview
Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive condition that leads to sensorineural deafness, abnormal ventricular myocardial repolarization which results in long QT syndrome (LQTS) and other cardiac events. Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome is due to KCNQ1 or KCNE1 gene mutations. The range of symptoms and severity of symptoms in Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome differs from patient to patient. In The United States of America in order to categorise a condition as a rare disease it should affect fewer than 200,000 people. Rare diseases also called as orphan diseases. Orphan Drug Act was passed on 1983 by congress for the rare diseases. Today an average of 25-30 million americans have been reported with rare diseases. The number of people with individual rare disease may be less but overall the number of people with rare diseases are large in number.
Historical Perspective
- Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) was first discovered by Anton Jervell a Norwegian physician and Fred Lange-Nielsen a Norwegian doctor and jazz musician, in 1957.[1][2]
Classification
- Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) may be classified according into two subtypes:[3][4][5][6]
Type | Chromosome Locus | Gene Mutation | Protein Involved |
Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome 1 | 11p15.5-p15.4 | KCNQ1 | Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily KQT member 1 |
Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome 2 | 21q22.12 | KCNE1 | Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily E member 1 |
Pathophysiology
Physiology
The normal physiology of KCNQ1 and KCNE1 genes can be understood as follows:[7]
- Both KCNQ1 and KCNE1 genes encodes for the slow potassium channel currents of the cochlea and the heart.
- Normally the slow potassium channel currents were stimulated by the sound, when stimulated the potassium from the scala media passes the action potential through the apex of the hair cells.
- The potassium action potential then depolarises the hair cells.
- Once depolarised there is a release calcium-channel-induced release of neurotransmitter.
- The neurotransmitter then passes along with the auditory nerve and then depolarizes and the currents are sent centrally where they are received as sound.
Pathogenesis
- It is understood that Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) is the result of mutations in the gene KCNQ1 and KCNE1.[8]
- KCNQ1 gene normally consists of 16 exons and have a general spanning of 400 kb.[9][10][11][12][13][14]
- The normal gene product of KCNQ1 gene is potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily KQT member 1.
- When KCNQ1 gene undergoes frameshift mutation it results in yielding truncated protein.
- Then the truncated protein either delete or duplicate the exons of the KCNQ1 gene and results in abnormal gene product which is known to result in long QT syndrome.
- KCNE1 gene normally consists of 3 exons and have a general spanning of 40 kb.[15][16][17][18][19]
- The normal gene product of KCNE1 gene is potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily E member 1.
- Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily E member 1 is also called as minK potassium channel protein beta subunit.[20]
- When KCNE1 gene undergoes missense mutation it results in yielding truncated protein.
- Then the truncated protein results in impairing potassium channel function, which is known to result in long QT syndrome.
Genetics
- Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) is transmitted in a autosomal recessive pattern.[21]
- Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome appear to have low penetrance.[22]
- Genes involved in the pathogenesis of Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) include:

- The incidence of Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) is approximately 1 per 100,000 individuals in Norway.[30][31][32]
- The incidence of Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) is approximately 1 per 100,000 individuals in Sweden.
- It is estimated that Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) affects 166,000 to 625,000 children worldwide.
Prevalence
- The prevalence of Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) is approximately 1:200,000 individuals in Norway.[1][33]
Age
- The incidence of Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is 6.8 years.[34][35]
- The exact time of presentation in Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) is highly variable.
Gender
- Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) affects men and women equally. But the severity of cardiac events is much more common in men.[36][37]
Risk Factors
- The most potent risk factor in the development of Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) is KCNQ1 and KCNE1 genes mutation.
- Other common risk factors in the development of Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) symptoms include sudden sleep arousal, exercise and intense or sudden emotion which include the following:[38][39]
- Competitive sports
- Amusement park rides
- Frightening movies
- Jumping into cold water
Screening
- According to the American College of Medical Genetics, screening for Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) by hearing evaluation which is standard and electrocardiograms is recommended among patients with a family history.[40][41][42][43]
Natural History, Complications and Prognosis
Natural History
- The symptoms of Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) usually develop in the first or second of life, and start with symptoms such as hearing loss and syncope.[44]
Complications
- Common complications of Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) include:[45]
Prognosis
- Depending on the severity of the genetic mutation at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as poor as most of the untreated patients die around the age of 15 years.[46]
- The prognosis varies with the gender, gene mutation and baseline QTc interval.
Diagnosis
Diagnostic Study of Choice
- Molecular genetic testing is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) which includes single-gene testing, use of a multigene testing panel, and more comprehensive genomic testing.[47]
- The following result of molecular genetic testing is confirmatory of Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS):
- KCNQ1 or KCNE1 pathogenic gene mutation variants identification
History and Symptoms
Common Symptoms
Common symptoms of Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) include:
- Congenital Deafness: Usually identified at the time of birth, most commonly sensorineural hearing loss and is due to disruption of endolymph homeostasis in the cochlea and vestibular system[49]
- Syncope: Due to abnormal heart rhythm and is typically precipitous and without warning
- Seizures: Most commonly grand mal seizures
- Palpitations
- Mild to moderate chest pain
- Ventricular fibrillation
- Sudden cardiac death
Physical Examination
HEENT

Treatment
Medical Therapy
- Patients with Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) are treated with beta-adrenergic blockers as the first line in the management of the disease.
- In patients with Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) despite treated with the beta-blockers risk of cardiac events still persists.[63][64]
- Propranolol and nadolol are the beta-blockers of choice when treating a patient with Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS). Of the two nadolol is the preference of choice due to less favorable pharmacokinetic profile of propranolol.[65]
Acute Management of Torsades de pointes
- The treatment of choice for hemodynamically unstable patients acute management of Torsades de pointes in Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) patients are with the following:[66][67]
- Electrical cardioversion or defibrillation
- If ventricular tachycardia is suspected or diagnosed treat the patient with cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) protocol has to be initiated.
- If the patient is hemodynamically stable or cardioversion fails then treat the patient with following:
- Preferred regimen (1): Magnesium sulfate 20–50 mg/kg intravenously initially up to 2 grams max.
Interventions
- The feasibility of interventions depends on the severity of Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) patients at the time of diagnosis which include:
- Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs)[68][69][70]
- ICDs are reserved for the patients who undergone cardiac arrest resuscitation
- ICDs are good alternative choice of treatment for the patients who are resistant to beta blockers
- Left cardiac sympathetic denervation (LCSD)
- LCSDs are reserved for the patients who are not compatible with beta blocker or Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs)
- Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs)[68][69][70]
